5th Annual “Waterworks” Juried Watercolor Art Show
Watercolor Paintings created by LPAPA artists

A celebration of artwork created with transparent watercolors!

Virtual Gallery (Juried Finalists) Exhibition/Auction Dates:  May 3 – 9, 2021

Expanded Online Exhibition of the Juried Semi-Finalists: DailyBrushwork.com

LPAPA’s Waterworks Juried Show accepts artwork created both in plein air and in studio, however, the top “Best Plein Air” award is only eligible for a work created in plein air, and in addition to the cash award, the award-winning artist receives a coveted “golden ticket” to participate in LPAPA’s 23rd Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational, October 2 – 10, 2021.

This annual watercolor show is made possible with the support of the Joe Hanks Van Cleave Foundation for the Arts and honors the family’s matriarch Joe Hanks Van Cleave (1920-2003) who preferred painting with transparent watercolor and often exhibited as a member of the Laguna Beach Art Association (1957-1969) in their gallery (now the Laguna Art Museum), and her big one-woman show in July 1962. 

To address the challenges imposed by the pandemic, LPAPA will continue to present its annual juried art shows online and in an auction format until it is feasible to return to physical exhibits and receptions at its “LPAPA in Residence” Gallery home at the Forest & Ocean Gallery in the heart of Laguna’s art district.

Proceeds from the sale of artwork benefits the participating artists and nonprofit LPAPA, and helps sustain LPAPA’s Mission and LPAPA in Residence Gallery. LPAPA’s mission is dedicated to painting the landscape, preserving Laguna’s artistic legacy and promoting the plein air painting tradition. LPAPA strives to enhance the livelihood of its artist members and inspire the next generation of plein air painters!

7th Annual Miniature Auction & Patron Party FUN-raiser

May 20, 2021 by Toni Kellenberg

LPAPA Patron Party & Miniature Auction FUN-raiser

LPAPA Miniature Auction 2021VIEW 2021 MINIATURE ART CATALOG

The Laguna Plein Air Painter Association hosted its 7th Annual “Patron Party & Miniature Auction FUN-raiser” on Thursday, August 26, 2021, at its new LPAPA Gallery located at 414 North Coast Highway on Gallery Row in Laguna Beach! It was great fun to share this special new gallery space with our guests at this sold-out event! The FUN began with a reception that included delightful seasonal savory and sweet bites prepared exclusively for the evening’s festivities by local Private Chef Andrea Drexelius, served with a selection of fine Bianchi wines, as guests mingled with fellow art lovers to celebrate the annual gathering as a coveted collectors’ favorite opportunity to add a special gem to their collection. Guests were encouraged to wear face masks when social distancing was not possible; fully vaccinated guests had the option to wear face masks at their discretion.

Special guest Mr. Jean Stern, Art Historian and nationally recognized authority on California Impressionism, shared fascinating stories about historical miniatures and the artists who helped establish Laguna Beach as an artists’ colony. He also shared and displayed historical miniatures from his private collection.

The artwork was showcased in LPAPA’s online digital 2021 Miniature Art Auction Catalog (above is a button with a link to view). The art auction opened exclusively to Patron Party attendees and Proxy Bidders for a lively fast-paced live auction hosted during the patron party event. In addition to the in-person party, our patrons who are not able to join us had a virtual ticket option with a proxy assigned to bid on behalf of our offsite guests.

LPAPA’s Miniature Auction FUN-raiser celebrates the plein air painting legacy that helped establish Laguna Beach as an artists’ colony more than a century ago. Now famous early plein air artists — William Wendt, Edgar Payne, Frank Cuprien, Anna Hills, and many others — 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 tradition into the present with miniature paintings created by our contemporary award-winning 2021 Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational Artists to support our Gallery and help us keep the plein air painting tradition alive in Laguna Beach for future generations. 

This annual event is a wonderful opportunity to add a little gem of a miniature to your art collection and help LPAPA preserve Laguna’s plein air painting legacy… past, present, and future! All are encouraged to bid generously or make a donation to support LPAPA’s Mission!

 

Celebrate the Legacy, Be part of the Tradition!
 
Early Moonrise by William Wendt (1922 Laguna Beach Art Asociation Miniature Sale) 4″ x 6″ – Private Collection of Jean & Linda Stern will be exhibited

LPAPA Members can log at lpapa-portal.org and go to Plein Talks under the video tab to watch the recording of Mr. Stern’s 2020 Plein Talk.
