Laguna Festival of Arts Foundation ( FOA ) Awards a Generous Grant to LPAPA
By LB Indy Staff
As LPAPA prepares for its 26th Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational , we are proud to announce that the Laguna Festival of Arts Foundation ( FOA ) gifted a grant of $ 5,000 for LPAPA ’ s renowned educational programs and events that include the year-round multi-generational Plein Air Project , the Future Generation Paint Out for grades 4 through 12 , and the Next Paint Out for college level students .
This year ’ s Future Generation Paint Out will be hosted on Oct . 7 , with artist members of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association ( LPAPA ) mentoring local students , grades four through 12 , from the Laguna Beach Unified School District . Students selected by their school will be invited to paint outdoors at Heisler Park for their own plein air painting experience . The young artists will receive art supplies that include a paint set , canvas board and a portable easel that they can take home with them . The student ’ s artwork created that day will then be exhibited at the LPAPA Gallery for sale , with 100 % of the proceeds to be donated to the participating schools to benefit their art programs . Another element held during our Annual Laguna Plein Painting Invitational in October is the Next Generation Paint Out . This program offers college level students an enhanced learning experience , helping them to prepare for a professional career in the arts , while augmenting their painting and drawing skills , and giving them recognition for their creative efforts through opportunities to sell their work and compete for scholarship awards .
Throughout the school year , LPAPA ’ s Plein Air Project is a multi-faceted approach that involves painting demonstrations at elementary schools , a visit to our Laguna gallery or a local museum , and a hands-on plein air painting experience at or near the participating school .
In addition , LPAPA offers yearround adult education programs and workshops .
The Festival of Arts Foundation ’ s commitment to the arts will help LPAPA “ pay it forward ” and continue to fulfill our dedication to support the rich artistic culture of our city through our
educational programs while inspiring future generations of artists to continue the Laguna plein air painting tradition and legacy .
The Laguna Plein Air Painters Association is a 501 ( c )( 3 ) nonprofit art organization originally established in Laguna Beach in 1996 . For more information about the 2024 Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational visit lpapa . org or contact LPAPA by email at info @ lpapa . org or by phone at ( 949 ) 376-3635 . The LPAPA Gallery is located on Gallery Row in Laguna Beach at 414 N . Coast Highway .

Act V parking to downtown , like they do so successfully in many South American cities as a form of mass transit ? It would be non-polluting , quiet , fun , and would come with an epic view descending into the city . As they say in the theater business , that ’ s an entrance . A real Village Entrance . Why not a true bike lane network , with electric bike kiosks spread all over town ? Why not a congestive pricing tax on those who use Coast Highway as a commuter lane ? At least until the Toll Road un-tolls theirs ? Why not slow down the velocity of speeding cars from Diamond to downtown with a series of massive speed bump / crosswalks ?
There are dozens of methods for curbing the curse of cars in the new urban environment , which puts humans first . So , to borrow one more fireworks cliche , let ’ s hold our council candidates ’ feet to the fire this election season and get moving on Making Laguna Livable Again .
