The San Luis Obispo County Arts Council is your partner in bringing public art projects to life.

What We Do

We offer comprehensive support at every stage of the process, from developing a project timeline and meeting with stakeholders to drafting Requests for Proposals (RFPs) or Qualifications (RFQs) and issuing calls for art to attract local talent. Our team provides professional development and application assistance to help artists create compelling proposals and budgets, facilitates community engagement to gather input, and coordinates the planning and installation of the artwork. We also collaborate with developers to define the project scope and explore creative possibilities, assist with securing funding sources, and offer stipends to artists for their proposals. Whether you are envisioning a mural, sculpture, or interactive installation, we're here to guide and support your vision from concept to completion.
