| Southern California Plein Air Painters Association (SOCALPAPA) Art Exhibition and Sale |
| The Southern California Plein Air Painters Association, founded in January 2000, was first known as 'The Friday Group'. The original group of painters met in a landscape-painting course at Irvine Valley College in August of 1999. At the end of the course, they decided to continue to meet weekly and paint the landscape in and around Orange County. By February of 2001, the group had grown to 50 members, and formally became known as the Southern California Plein Air Painters Association (SOCALPAPA), representing the locale of the membership. The current membership is over 250 with members in Arizona, Nevada and Colorado as well as throughout California.Meet the Artists Reception Friday, April 4, 2008 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. |
