LPAPA Signature Artists took over the Key Courtyard at the Bowers Museum on Sunday July 29th, 2018, to paint in plein air in support of Bowers Museum’s California Bounty: Image and Identity, 1850-1930 exhibit! Visitors were able to watch, learn and engage with artists all over the courtyard as they create plein air masterpieces in two hours! The paintings will be available for purchase with proceeds supporting the artists, the Bowers Museum and nonprofit LPAPA! This was a free outdoor public event enjoyed by all.

After the paint out, Mr. Jean Stern judged the framed paintings and awards were presented to Michael Obermeyer (1st Place), Greg LaRock (2nd Place), and Lisa McDill (3rd Place).
