2022 Patron Party & Mini Auction, August 24th

July 20, 2022 by Toni Kellenberg

LPAPA Mini Auction and Patron Party 2022

The Laguna Plein Air Painter Association is excited to be hosting its 8th Annual “Patron Party & Miniature Auction FUN-raiser” on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, 6 pm at the LPAPA Gallery located at 414 North Coast Highway on Gallery Row in Laguna Beach!

VIEW 2022 MINIATURE ARTWORK

Patron Party FUNraiser Tickets are $125 per guest
for In-person or Proxy access
(member ticket $100)
PURCHASE TICKETS

The FUN begins with wine and passed hors d’oeuvres prepared exclusively for the evening’s festivities by Saltwater Catering. Guests will have the opportunity to preview the available miniature artwork as they mingle with fellow art lovers. This has become a favorite annual art auction coveted by collectors’ who vie for the opportunity to add a special little gem to their collection.

Special guest Mr. Jean Stern, Director Emeritus of The Irvine Museum, Art Historian and nationally recognized authority on California Impressionism, will share about the artists who helped establish Laguna Beach as an artists’ colony and historical miniatures. He will also share miniatures from his private collection.

The artwork available in the 2022 auction is current on exhibit at the LPAPA Gallery and can be viewed online through the link above. The art auction will open exclusively to Patron Party attendees and registered Proxy Bidders with a fast-paced live auction. Our patrons who are not able to join us in person have a virtual ticket option with a personal Proxy assigned to bid on behalf of offsite guests.

Auction ticket holders will also have the opportunity to pre-purchase tickets at a $100 savings to attend the 24th Annual Laguna Plein Air Painting Invitational “Collectors Gala” being hosted at the Laguna Festival of Arts on Saturday October 8th!

LPAPA’s Miniature Auction FUNraiser celebrates the plein air painting legacy that helped establish Laguna Beach as an artists’ colony more than a century ago by famous early plein air painters — William Wendt, Edgar Payne, Frank Cuprien, Anna Hills, and many others — who founded the first Laguna Beach Art Association, and opened the first Laguna Beach art gallery, in 1918. To raise the money needed to open the gallery and support the association, the artists hosted art parties and painted special miniatures for their patrons that are now coveted by fine art collectors. LPAPA brings this historical tradition into the present with miniature paintings created by our contemporary award-winning Artists in support of the Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Invitational, the LPAPA Gallery, and LPAPA’s Mission to keep the Laguna Plein Air Painting tradition and legacy alive for future generations.

Patron Party Fundraiser Tickets are $125 per guest

The Great American West by Jove Wang, Nov 3 – 28

May 24, 2022 by Toni Kellenberg

LPAPA "The Great American West" by Jove Wang
LPAPA Gallery “Artist in Residence” Solo Exhibition
“The Great American West” by Jove Wang
Exhibition Dates: November 3rd through 28th, 2022
Art Walk Opening Reception: November 3rd, 2022 (6 pm to 9 pm)
VIP Collectors’ Reception & Painting Demonstration: Nov 5th, 2022 *
Laguna Plein Air Painting Workshop: Nov 7th through 11th, 2022 **
.
LPAPA is proud to present a special “Artist in Residence” solo exhibition by LPAPA Signature Artist Jove Wang at the LPAPA Gallery November 3-28, 2022. “The Great American West” will include major studio paintings and the field work that inspired them. The show will open on Thursday November 3rd with a First Thursdays Art Walk Gallery Reception (free, open to the public 11am – 9pm), followed with a private VIP Collectors Reception with Jove Wang on Saturday November 5th (private ticketed event; ticket link below).
.
Creating a major studio painting takes more than just the desire to paint. Hours of research to find an inspiring location, time in the field to paint plein air studies, weeks, sometimes months, of design work while the idea percolates, and days (or sometimes even a year) of painting all go into creating the final painting that will be framed and exhibited. Please mark your calendars now to visit the LPAPA Gallery in Laguna Beach for this extraordinary exhibition, November 3rd through November 28th.
.
The Laguna Plein Air Painters Association’s LPAPA Gallery is located at 414 North Coast Highway on Gallery Row, between Jasmine and Myrtle Streets, in Laguna Beach. Gallery hours are 11am to 5pm Thursday through Monday and by appointment. The gallery is open extended hours, 6pm to 9pm, for Laguna’s First Thursday Art Walk the first Thursday of each month. Please feel free to contact us by phone (949) 376-3635 or by email info@lpapa.org.
