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), with her big one-woman show in July 1962.

Many thanks to our jurors LPAPA Signature Artist Cindy Baron, Invitational Planning Committee Member Linda Stern, and LPAPA Executive Director Rosemary Swimm, and our Awards Judge and LPAPA Artistic Advisor to the Board, Mr. Jean Stern.

LPAPA’s mission is dedicated to painting the landscape, preserving Laguna’s artistic legacy, promoting the plein air painting tradition, and creating a network of plein air painters around the world. LPAPA strives to enhance the livelihood of its artist members and inspire the next generation of plein air painters!

LPAPA Strong & Positive Postcards Art Auction

by

LPAPA Strong & Positive Postcard Art Auction was a unique online art auction to raise funds to help support LPAPA and its Artists in a fun and positive way. And, it was an opportunity for art lovers to do something positive and receive a special and unique piece of art with a positive message for their art collection.

109 Artists from around the country pledged to paint and personalize an original 5″ x 7″ LPAPA Strong & Positive Postcard that was created and mailed to the winning auction bidder. 

Your support provided hope for all in a time of uncertainty and has helped keep the art community alive. Half of the proceeds was shared equally by the Artists and half helps sustain our nonprofit.

The auction began on May 5, 2020, as part of the #GivingTuesdayNow global day of giving that took place as an emergency response to the unprecedented needs caused by COVID-19. People showed their generosity and kindness in a variety of ways even while practicing physical distancing.

The LPAPA Strong & Positive Postcard Art Auction began May 5th and ended May 15th. Hashtag #LPAPAstrong  was used to support of nonprofit LPAPA and its Artists. 

Together we will get through this! Together we will keep LPAPA strong!
