Laguna Plein Air Invitational 2017 Awards

January 15, 2017 by Toni Kellenberg

2017 Laguna Plein Air Best in Show, Before Sunrise by Aimee Erickson

The 19th Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational took place the week of October 7th – 15th, 2017, with 35 participating artists invited to compete in what has been referred to as the “power-house” of plein air invitational events. The annual event is presented by nonprofit Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA) and supports their mission to promote the plein air painting tradition that established Laguna Beach as an Art Colony over 100 years ago. This annual event is made possible with the generous support of our sponsors, patrons and contributors.
