Each year local school children are invited for a plein air painting experience at Heisler Park for the Annual Kids Plein Air Invitational Paint-Out & Cookie Reception. This year’s event will take place on October 3rd, with children from each grade level, 4th through 12th, selected to participate by their schools to join LPAPA for an outdoor plein air painting experience. Each grade level is paired with a professional artist and mentored in the creation of a plein air painting from start to finish.
The kids’ masterpieces will then be on exhibit at the LPAPA Gallery, located at 414 N. Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, Thursday October 6th through Monday, October 31st, 2022. The children’s paintings will be available for purchase through the LPAPA Gallery with 100% of the proceeds donated to the child’s participating school (suggested donation is $50 but any amount is appreciated!).
Each participating child receives a plein air painting kit to take home and continue painting. LPAPA is able to offer this program at no charge to the schools and kids through the generous support provided by Art Supply Warehouse, Blick Art Materials, The City of Laguna Beach Lodging Establishments, The Festival of Arts Foundation (click to read the Stu News Article), The National Charity League Laguna Chapter, and our Mentor Artists volunteering their time to support the program.
Please plan to visit the LPAPA Gallery for First Thursday Art Walk, October 6, 2022, to see the children’s art work and consider making a donation to “purchase” the kids’ artwork and support our local schools!
