Empowering students and teachers through creativity

We’re expanding arts education across San Luis Obispo County—from early elementary to life long learners.

The San Luis Obispo County Arts Council is partnering with schools, educators, and the County Office of Education to develop new initiatives for creative learning. Through Prop 28 research and teacher credentialing pathways, along with programs that bring literary arts into the schools, we’re ensuring the arts are a core part of education—not an afterthought.

“Poetry Out Loud and the arts are windows into the soul, transforming raw emotion into something we can touch and understand. They turn the intangible into something real, sparking connections and showing us new ways to see and feel the world around us.”

— 2025 SLO County Poetry Out Loud Champion Joss Robertson, Arroyo Grande High School
