Read the full prospectus for details.
The Online Preview Auction referenced above will open at 80% of the full retail price for the painting with $10 bid increments. LPAPA underwrites the auction pricing so the artists will receive 50% of the full retail price regardless of the final auction sales price. The preview auction includes a “buy now” option at the full retail price. Unless other arrangements are made through LPAPA by the Collector, gallery paintings sold through the Auction and through the Gallery will be exhibited as sold with red dots then shipped or held for pick up after the gallery show ends. Paintings sold through the auction or gallery of the Semi-Finalist paintings will be shipped by the artist to the LPAPA Gallery or directly to the Collector based if instructed by LPAPA. Shipping fees to or from the LPAPA Gallery, and in the case of the Semi-Finalists to the Collector, are at the Artist’s expense.
Proceeds generated through the sale of artwork benefit the participating artists and nonprofit Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA). 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 through education and opportunity, and inspire the next generation of plein air painters to continue the tradition!
Join LPAPA, be part of the plein air painting legacy and tradition!
