Juried Gallery Artists: (to be announced on or before May 3, 2021)
This annual watercolor show is made possible with the support of the Joe Hanks Van Cleave Foundation for the Arts and honors the family’s matriarch Joe Hanks Van Cleave (1920-2003) who preferred painting with transparent watercolor and often exhibited as a member of the Laguna Beach Art Association (1957-1969) in their gallery (now the Laguna Art Museum), and her big one-woman show in July 1962.
To address the challenges imposed by the pandemic, LPAPA will continue to present its annual juried art shows online and in an auction format until it is feasible to return to physical exhibits and receptions at its “LPAPA in Residence” Gallery home at the Forest & Ocean Gallery in the heart of Laguna’s art district.
All submitting LPAPA Member Artists will earn $5 in LPAPA Loyalty Rewards. Proceeds from the sale of artwork benefits the participating artists and nonprofit LPAPA, and helps sustain LPAPA’s Mission and Gallery. LPAPA’s mission is dedicated to painting the landscape, preserving Laguna’s artistic legacy and promoting the plein air painting tradition. LPAPA strives to enhance the livelihood of its artist members and inspire the next generation of plein air painters!
Join LPAPA’s celebration, be part of the tradition!
