More than a century ago plein air painters came to Laguna Beach to capture it's beautiful landscape and California light on their canvases. Early plein air artists help to establish Laguna Beach as an Art Colon. Now famous artist -- Edgar Payne, William Wendt, Frank Curprien, Anna Hills, and others -- established the first Laguna Beach Art Association, and opened the first Laguna Beach Art Gallery, 1918.

The Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA) is a nonprofit art organization that originated in Laguna Beach in 1996 with the Mission to connect outdoor painters from across the nation (and around the world!). LPAPA continues the plein air tradition to preserve Laguna's artistic legacy and heritage.
