 MBPAPA Mission

Monterey Bay Plein Air Painters Association was formed in September, 2005 by a group of painters who love the environs of the Monterey Peninsula, and whose work is directly influence by the local landscape.

MBPAPA will foster the understanding and appreciation of plein air painting and its place in the history and current culture of our communities. It will work to distinguish its members as dedicated artists of the region.

The primary purpose of this organization is the promotion and exhibition of plein air painting among art collectors and the general public. Through this we will generate sales and support the professional development of MBPAPA members.

Also, we will:

  • enhance and support the creative development and artistic and professional skills of the membership

  • provide education and inspiration to the general public and youth of our communities

  • continue and enhance the recognition of the region's rich and varied history as a center for creative expression

  • facilitate communication, camaraderie, and mutual support among our members.
