Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA) received a $4,000 grant from The Festival of Arts Foundation to help fund its educational projects.
These funds will help in the production of a series of videos to be used in classrooms as well as purchase necessary supplies. The Plein Air Project will once again be presented during LPAPA’s 23rd Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational from Oct. 2 to 10.
