Call for Signature Artist Members

Entry deadline to submit was July 5, 2017 – jurying results will go out soon!
The designation of “Signature Artist” in any artists’ association is a recognition of high status, an acknowledgment by your peers that you are worthy of special distinction for your remarkable talent and capability in creating a work of art. It is a distinction that the majority of members of any art group do not have and in turn would love to receive. Your peers look to Signature Artists for inspiration and to set a high standard that they themselves strive to achieve.  Only a limited number of artists are accepted each year.

Our 2017 Distinguished Jurors:
Mr. Jean Stern, Executive Director of The Irvine Museum Collection at UCI
Saim Caglayan, LPAPA Founder, Board Chairman & Signature Artist
Jim McVicker, LPAPA Signature Member & Laguna Plein Air Invitational Best in Show 2014 & 2016
