Our Mission: The Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA) is dedicated to preserving Laguna’s artistic legacy and promoting the plein air painting tradition. We strive to enhance the livelihoods of our artist members while inspiring the next generation of painters to capture the landscape.
The LPAPA Gallery: Located on Gallery Row in the heart of a historical art colony at 414 N. Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, our gallery serves as a premier destination for fine art. We are proud to showcase the work of our regional, national, and international Signature, Artist, and Student members through:
-
Monthly Juried or Invited Exhibitions: Hosted both in-gallery and as immersive Virtual Exhibitions.
-
First Thursdays Art Walk: Monthly receptions celebrating new work and community.
-
Global Outreach: We live-stream our Awards Presentations and provide digital catalogs to connect with collectors and art lovers worldwide.
Your support ensures that the plein air tradition continues to thrive. We look forward to welcoming you!
