Experience the Arts in a Whole New Way

In SLO, the arts are not treated as a luxury but as a necessity. From painted utility boxes, a skate park that has been described as an interactive museum, a 70-foot alley covered in bubblegum designs and an ‘architectural graveyard,’ San Luis Obispo’s public art runs the gamut from high end to open source. And when it comes to music, the scene is even more varied. In one weekend you can experience the Symphony playing in one of the most beautiful performing arts centers in California to a dive bar where Neil Young debuted his most recent album in a surprise show.
