Art in Public Places

Our Art in Public Places committee helps implement countywide policies for public art, holds informational
workshops for artists and assists the City of San Luis Obispo in commissioning and erecting public art
projects. This active group has been working behind the scenes for years to make public art a strong and
viable program for SLO County. A few of the projects that ARTS Obispo’s APP program has directly assisted
with are the permanent installations in the new County Government Center, Avila Beach, SLO Promenade,
Old Town Arroyo Grande, Higuera St. Plaza and Tolosa Housing Development. Click here for detailed
information from the City of San Luis Obispo on its public art projects, including an interactive Google map.

Our Visual Artists’ Directory helps link developers, collectors and other interested people to artists. Contact
the ARTS Obispo office for more information on this important program.

Interested in public art? Curious about the process? The Art in Public Places committee meets on the 2nd
Tuesday of the month at 2 p.m. in ARTS Space Obispo.
