On Sunday, October 9, 2022 (10:00am – 4:00pm), we open the doors with free entry for all to visit the 24th Annual Laguna Beach Invitational Plein Air Art Show at the Laguna Festival of Arts! Come immerse yourself into the Laguna Plein Air Painting tradition as we celebrate artistic legacy that established Laguna Beach as an art colony more than a century ago. Meet the artists, see the paintings created during the week*, watch live painting demonstrations, and engage in Plein Talk art conversations with the award winners… and the opportunity to add a special Laguna Plein Air original work of art to your collection! When you join the celebration, you become part of the tradition and legacy! Free entry throughout the day! 

Sunday, October 9th will be your last chance to meet the artists and collect an original Laguna Plein Air work of art created during the 2022 Laguna Beach Plein Air Invitational by one of today’s master plein air painters. Come support the arts and the artists! Come support nonprofit LPAPA and its mission! Proceeds from the sale of artwork benefit the artists and nonprofit Laguna Plein Air Painters Association.
