Each month LPAPA presents a new juried art exhibition at its “LPAPA in Residence” gallery located at the Forest & Ocean Gallery in Laguna Beach. The gallery creates opportunities for our artist members from across the country to show their work in our thriving art colony, and it provides LPAPA with the opportunity for our nonprofit art organization to connect with our community, supporters and art lovers. Proceeds from the sale of artwork benefits the artists and nonprofit Laguna Plein Air Painters Association’s mission to promote and preserve Laguna’s art colony legacy established by plein air artists and the tradition of plein air painting.

Celebrate the legacy, be part of the tradition!
