Art After Dark: When the sun goes down, the art comes out
When the sun goes down on the first Friday of every month, art comes alive in many shops and restaurants in downtown San Luis Obispo. Some featuring local artists, others, simply bringing something new to the Central Coast for people to enjoy. A bit of a local secret, Art After Dark showcases the work of jewelry designers, painters, sculptors, mixed media artists and more.
