Artists are cordially invited to meet at the Civic Center, located at 23500 Civic Center Way in Malibu.

“Let’s meet at 9:00 on Civic Center Way, where pergolas shade the walkway. (You may want to arrive a little early to ensure you get a parking spot on Civic Center Way.)

From there we will take the short distance around the back of the park to the pond, or wherever you would like to paint. Note that we will be setting up at the palace that looks like a ‘slice’ on the map.” More information and the aforementioned map can be found on the Allied Artists website.

Allied Artists has been painting and preserving the Santa Monica Mountains and Seashores for over 20 years.

“Our mission is to promote appreciation for our environment through the arts and to support the preservation and maintenance of Southern California’s national, state, and local parks and open spaces.” — Allied Artists of Santa Monica Mountains and Seashore

The group aims to encourage artists to express themselves through art and to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature.

“To encourage and provide conservation and environmental education information as a public service through figurative artwork.” Allied Artists, “Promote figurative art in the area by providing en plein air (outdoor) ‘paintings’ in a variety of natural settings within the recreation area.”

Allied Artists “increase appreciation for the environment by exhibiting and selling original figurative art in nature centers, visitor centers, art galleries, special events, and exhibitions held in the parks for the enjoyment of the public.

Artists are encouraged to donate a portion of the proceeds from their art sales to conservation and environmental organizations.”
