9 Days. 30 National Masters. One Historic Coastline.
Welcome to our 2026 Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational Event Page!
Laguna Beach is the historic birthplace of California Impressionism. For nearly three decades, LPAPA has honored that lineage by hosting the West Coast’s premier plein air invitational event. This year, we are elevating the tradition and high-stakes competition, and adding a world-class culinary partner!
