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.
