About this event
10th Annual Patron Party & Miniature Auction FUN-raiser
Sponsored by The Ritz-Carlton at the LPAPA Gallery
Wednesday, August 28th, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
LPAPA's annual Patron Party & Miniature Auction FUN-raiser celebrates the plein air painting legacy that helped established Laguna Beach as an artists' colony more than a century ago. To raise funds needed to open the first art gallery in 1918, the original Laguna Beach Art Association hosted art parties and painted special miniatures for their patrons that are rare and coveted by fine art collectors.
The fun begins at 6:00 pm with guests enjoying gourmet passed hors d'oeuvres prepared by The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, while they enjoy meeting fellow art lovers and viewing the miniature paintings to be auctioned.
Mr. Jean Stern, Emeritus Director of The Irvine Museum, will share a historical miniature from his private collection and talk about Laguna's plein air painting legacy, followed by a fast-paced lively live auction!
Ticket Price: $125 (LPAPA Member Price $100)
