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), with her big one-woman show in July 1962.

Many thanks to our jurors LPAPA Signature Artist Cindy Baron, Invitational Planning Committee Member Linda Stern, and LPAPA Executive Director Rosemary Swimm, and our Awards Judge and LPAPA Artistic Advisor to the Board, Mr. Jean Stern.

LPAPA’s mission is dedicated to painting the landscape, preserving Laguna’s artistic legacy, promoting the plein air painting tradition, and creating a network of plein air painters around the world.
