“Ask an artist what they like the least about painting and they are likely to say deadlines or show theme restrictions. They seem to be never-ending. In this online exhibition, we have removed all restrictions, asking only that PAPA Members paint what they want, where they want and how they want. Eliminating these constraints provides a freedom that allows the artist to fully celebrate the process and chosen subject. It’s an opportunity to celebrate their personal vision, unfiltered and without limitations.” – Matt Smith, PAPA President

Founded in 1986 by artist Denise Burns, on Catalina Island, California the Plein Air Painters of America began as a small group of artists dedicated to painting from life. For the first two decades, PAPA held annual paint-outs followed by an exhibition, in Avalon on Catalina. This format, unique at the time, has given birth to countless similar groups and events across the country.

In 2007, PAPA expanded its format to include exhibitions in museums and art centers to emphasize the importance of field studies in the process of making studio paintings. Most of PAPA exhibitions are documented in catalogs.
PAPA members are seasoned outdoor painters and consider some of the best teachers of the genre today, conducting workshops throughout the country and internationally. PAPA also collaborates with Streamline Premium Art Videos to produce instructional videos that are indispensable learning tools.
