The Newport Bay Conservancy (NBC) and OC Parks are proud to host an ongoing exhibition of select paintings for sale. Paintings are by top Southern California Plein Air Painters Association (SOCALPAPA) artists, whose works are shown in many galleries throughout Southern California. SOCALPAPA has over 300 members dedicated to celebrating the local landscape.
