Hosted by the Laguna Terrace Beautification Team – City of Laguna Hills, CA

​

Immerse yourself in the natural charm and vibrant spirit of Laguna Hills at the second annual Laguna Terrace Plein Air Art Contest on July 19th, 8 AM to 1 PM! Presented by the Laguna Terrace Beautification Team, this community-focused event invites artists of all skill levels to capture the scenic landscapes, flourishing gardens, and architectural elegance that make our neighborhoods a hidden gem of Southern California.

​

Artists will paint en plein air—on location—at six strategic sites throughout Laguna Hills, each chosen to showcase the distinctive beauty and welcoming atmosphere. From peaceful greenbelts to charming residential vistas, each location provides a canvas of inspiration. Works will be judged by a panel of renowned artists, including Michael Obermeyer and Jeff Sewell. Awards will be given for the best submissions, including cash. Adults: $500, $400, and $300. Youth: $150, $75, and $50. Youth will also receive expert instruction 10 days before the contest during a Plein Air workshop. See registration page for more details."

This contest encourages creativity, community connection, and a shared appreciation for the picturesque environment that we call home. Whether you're an artist or an admirer, join us in honoring the beauty that makes Laguna Hills truly special.
