San Joaquin Show 2024

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

SOCALPAPA will be having a December Display Show, with awards, open to ALL Members, at the San Joaquin Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary.

 
Save the Dates:
Saturday and Sunday, December 14 & 15

Full Details and a prospectus are coming soon! This special announcement is to give you time to visit the marsh and begin painting for the show, and to save the dates of the show itself.

There will also be a reception and awards ceremony on Saturday, December 14th.

Active members may submit 2 paintings, plein air or studio. All work must be of the marsh, the gardens, buildings, or the birds and other wildlife at San Joaquin Marsh.

Get out and paint! There will be a scheduled paint out in November, but you can get started now as the area is open to the public from dawn to dusk daily.

*Note - this is the same location as the Quick Draw event last year.

This year will be a display show and NOT a quick draw.

5 Riparian View, Irvine, CA 92612
Open to the public from dawn to dusk.
