5th Annual “Waterworks” Juried Watercolor Art Show
Watercolor Paintings created by LPAPA artists

A celebration of artwork created with transparent watercolors!

Virtual Gallery (Juried Finalists) Exhibition/Auction Dates:  May 3 – 9, 2021

Expanded Online Exhibition of the Juried Semi-Finalists: DailyBrushwork.com

LPAPA’s Waterworks Juried Show accepts artwork created both in plein air and in studio, however, the top “Best Plein Air” award is only eligible for a work created in plein air, and in addition to the cash award, the award-winning artist receives a coveted “golden ticket” to participate in LPAPA’s 23rd Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational, October 2 – 10, 2021.

This annual watercolor show is made possible with the support of the Joe Hanks Van Cleave Foundation for the Arts and honors the family’s matriarch Joe Hanks Van Cleave (1920-2003) who preferred painting with transparent watercolor and often exhibited as a member of the Laguna Beach Art Association (1957-1969) in their gallery (now the Laguna Art Museum), and her big one-woman show in July 1962. 

To address the challenges imposed by the pandemic, LPAPA will continue to present its annual juried art shows online and in an auction format until it is feasible to return to physical exhibits and receptions at its “LPAPA in Residence” Gallery home at the Forest & Ocean Gallery in the heart of Laguna’s art district.

Proceeds from the sale of artwork benefits the participating artists and nonprofit LPAPA, and helps sustain LPAPA’s Mission and LPAPA in Residence Gallery. LPAPA’s mission is dedicated to painting the landscape, preserving Laguna’s artistic legacy and promoting the plein air painting tradition. LPAPA strives to enhance the livelihood of its artist members and inspire the next generation of plein air painters!

Join LPAPA’s celebration, be part of the tradition!

6th Annual Miniature Auction FUN-raiser

June 7, 2020 by Toni Kellenberg

LPAPA Miniature Art AuctionThe Laguna Plein Air Painter Association went virtual to host its 6th Annual “Patron Party & Miniature Auction FUN-raiser”. That means more art lovers enjoyed this special art auction event that has become an annual collector’s favorite. The FUN kicked off with the virtual Patron Party Friday evening with special guest Mr. Jean Stern, Art Historian and nationally recognized authority on California Impressionism, who indulged our virtual guests with fascinating stories about historical miniatures and the artists who helped establish Laguna Beach as an artists’ colony (LPAPA Members can log at lpapa-portal.org and go to Plein Talks under the video tab to watch the recording of Mr. Stern’s Plein Talk). Our Patron guests received an advance copy of the interactive digital art catalog and were given early priority access to the auction and buy-now opportunities.

The online art auction opened to the public at 7:00pm PDT, Friday June 19th, immediately following the Patron Party guest access, and continues throughout the weekend, ending Sunday June 21st at 5:00pm.

LPAPA’s Miniature FUN-raiser celebrates the plein air painting legacy that helped establish Laguna Beach as an artists’ colony. Now famous early plein air artists — William Wendt, Edgar Payne, Frank Cuprien, Anna Hills, and others — founded the first Laguna Beach Art Association, and opened the first Laguna Beach art gallery, in 1918. To raise the money needed to open the gallery and support the association, the artists hosted art parties and painted special miniatures for their patrons. LPAPA brings this tradition into the present with miniature paintings created by our contemporary award-winning LPAPA artists.

This is your opportunity to add a little gem of a miniature to your art collection and help LPAPA preserve Laguna’s plein air painting legacy of the past, present, and future!
