Week of October 5-13: Laguna Plein Air Invitational Painting Events

June 1, 2019 by Toni Kellenberg

Beginning Saturday October 5, 2019, and continuing everyday during the 9-day plein air painting festival, from Dawn to Dusk and into the night, you can find our 30 invited artists painting the local landscapes, coastlines and urban scenes for LPAPA’s 21st Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational. We’ve invited the top award winning plein air painters from near and far, across the nation, to gather in Laguna and carry on a 100+ year old painting tradition! Come watch the Artists as they paint outdoors “en plein air” and please thank them for helping LPAPA preserve Laguna’s artistic legacy and the plein air painting tradition!
