the first Art Gallery in Laguna Beach was opened by
early plein air artists that we know and celebrate, such as
Edgar Payne, William Wendt, Frank Cuprien, Anna Hills and many others.

LPAPA’s mission, as a nonprofit art organization, is dedicated to preserving
Laguna’s rich artistic legacy established by these early Plein Air Artists –
who we honor today with our mission and dedication to the
plein air painting tradition in Laguna Beach, across the nation, and around the world.

To honor these milestones in history, we have planned a unique and special celebration
for our 2018 Laguna Plein Air Painting Invitational will celebrate….
