LPAPA Meet & Greet and Quick Draw Art Auction

On Sunday, October 8, 2023, all 35 Laguna Plein Air Invitational Artists will gather for a 2-hour Quick Draw Painting Competition (9AM – 11AM) throughout Heisler Park in Laguna Beach.  The public is invited to join us to witness the creation of plein air masterpieces — from start to finish in 2 hours! — while enjoying a Sunday walk through the park!  Our “on the ground” LPAPA reporter will be live-streaming the Quick Draw paint out on Facebook and Instagram as the artists paint during the 2-hour competition! 

At the end of the 2-hour painting competition, the Artists will take their wet paintings to the Laguna Festival of Arts for framing and preparation for the Quick Draw Quick Sale Silent Auction (1:30-2:30PM). Join us for a Meet & Greet with the artists (1-1:30PM), or purchase a ticket for private Lunch with the Artists at noon (and/or Sponsor an Artists Lunch)!

This is a great opportunity to view the artwork and bid on a special painting that you watched the artist paint before your eyes — when you collect the work of Laguna Plein Air Artists, you’re not only collecting an original plein air painting, you are also collecting the experience and memories that go along with it… if you win the bid be sure to have your photo taken with the artist!
