Host an Artist

Welcome a World-Class Plein Air Artist into Your Home

Thank you for your interest in hosting an artist for the Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational! Opening your home to a visiting painter is one of the most rewarding ways to support LPAPA and experience our flagship event from the inside.

As a host, you’ll provide a comfortable home base for a professional working artist during an exciting 9-day competition (October 3–11, 2026). It’s a unique opportunity to build lasting friendships, witness the creative process up close, and play a vital role in our non-profit’s largest annual fundraiser.

As a thank you for your support, all hosts will receive two 6PM entry tickets to attend the October 10th Collectors Art Party (a $500 value; non-transferrable).

How to Apply:

  • Complete and submit the online application form below.
  • LPAPA’s Executive Director Bonnie Langner will reach out as soon as we match an artist with your available space.

Priority Matching for Members:

LPAPA Sponsors and Supporter Members receive priority placement when pairing artists with host homes. If you aren’t a member yet, consider joining today at LPAPA.org/join —or consider becoming an Invitational Sponsor or Patron— your support helps sustain our Mission to keep the Laguna Plein Air legacy and painting tradition thriving into the future!

Questions? Please contact LPAPA’s Executive Director Bonnie Langner by email at Bonnie@LPAPA.org or by phone at 925-683-8374.
