ADVANCING THE VISUAL, LITERARY & PERFORMING ARTS IN SLO COUNTY
We are the state-local partner of the California Arts Council.
OUR MISSION
The San Luis Obispo County Arts Council empowers artists by providing the resources, advocacy, and networks they need to succeed while connecting cultural institutions to create a dynamic, supportive arts landscape.
Our efforts ensure that local artists are not only able to develop their craft but also have access to paid opportunities, mentorship, and platforms to showcase their work. We understand that a healthy arts community is not just about individual success but about collaboration, mentorship, and mutual support across the region.
