Laguna Plein Air Painters Association

The Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA) is dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich legacy of outdoor landscape painting in Laguna Beach. We serve our members, the public and the community at local, national and international levels through a diverse range of events, programs and educational initiatives.

LPAPA enhances the visibility and livelihoods of our artists by organizing prestigious events such as the Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational, presented during the first week of October each year, along with year-round LPAPA Gallery exhibitions and programs that showcase our artists’ talents. We are committed to fostering professional development through opportunities and educational resources tailored to our members’ needs.

To further our mission, LPAPA collaborates with complementary arts organizations, providing valuable mentoring and scholarship programs for emerging artists. We also offer youth education initiatives aimed at inspiring the next generation of artists, ensuring the continued vitality of plein air painting within Laguna’s thriving arts community.
