The LPAPA Gallery is open Thursday through Monday, 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, and by appointment, with extended hours the first Thursday of each month. Plan to join us Thursday January 5th and Thursday February 2nd for First Thursdays Art Walk with extended gallery hours to 9:00 pm.

The gallery is located at 414 N. Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, California, in the historic El Paseo, on Gallery Row between Jasmine and Myrtle Streets (there’s a trolley stop on the corner of North Coast Highway & Jasmine).

The LPAPA Gallery is made possible through the support of our Members, Patrons, Donors, and Collectors. Proceeds from the sale of artwork supports the artists and nonprofit LPAPA, and helps to further our mission to preserve Laguna’s century-old plein air painting legacy, promote the plein air painting tradition, and connect outdoor painters from around the world with Laguna’s artistic legacy! We hope you will plan to visit the gallery, join LPAPA as an artist, supporter, or donor, and help to assure that plein air painting — past, present, and future — will remain in our community for centuries to come! When you join LPAPA, you become part of the Laguna plein air legacy and tradition!
