On Saturday, October 13th, LPAPA hosted its 20th Annual “Collectors Gala” at the Festival of Arts, a magical outdoor setting nestled in the heart of Laguna’s arts district proved to be the perfect setting to showcase the plein air fine art show that featured nearly 500 original works of art. The Collectors Gala attracts fine art collectors from around the country who wish to be the first to view and have the opportunity to purchase the paintings created by these nationally recognized contemporary masters at what has become one of the most prestigious Plein Air Painting Invitational events in the country.

Over $40,000 in cash and prizes was awarded to the artists, with the top prize, the highly coveted $10,000 Best in Show was awarded to Rhode Island based LPAPA Signature Artist Cindy Baron for her painting “Transitions” which also received The Irvine Museum Collection at the UCI Institute & Museum of California Art Award. The 2018 Best in Show judges were Stephen Barker, Dean of the Claire Trevor School of Arts & Executive Director of the UCI Institute & Museum for California Art, Jonathan Burke, President of the Laguna College of Art + Design, and Mr. Jean Stern, Director of The Irvine Museum Collection at the UCI Institute & Museum of California Art.
