Each year Laguna Beach turns into an outdoor studio with the always-exciting Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational. Meet local and national artists as they capture the beauty of Laguna Beach and compete for both prestige and awards. Enjoy eight days of events including Quick Draw and Silent Auction, Plein Talk Art Discussions, Kids, LCAD, Ben Brown’s and LPAPA wide paint-outs.

The week long Invitational culminates with the highly anticipated Afternoon Collectors’ Soirée on Saturday, October 18 followed by the Public Show and Sale on Sunday. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association, a 501(c)(3) non-profit art organization.
