What we’re about
Welcome! Let's explore the creative side of SLO County! We'll get together for art shows, gallery walks, museum exhibitions, cultural experiences, craft fairs, painting classes, or anything that delights our eyes and inspires our creative minds. 🤩
Your ideas are always welcome! Heard of an upcoming artsy event or show? Share it in Discussions or message the organizer, and we'll turn great ideas into group events.
After a long pause, this meetup is back to life under new leadership (since June 2025). So come join us for an upcoming event — there's so much art and inspiration to discover, and you might meet a new friend or two! 😉
**********
If you're RSVPing for an event: please make sure your Meetup profile includes a first name written in English letters (not just an initial) and a recognizable photo (sunglasses are fine). This helps us keep our events safe, friendly, and connected, and a photo helps me spot you in a crowded venue when you're having trouble finding the group.

Art After Dark gallery walk (spotlight on watercolor)
Art Central Supply & Gallery , 1329 Monterey Street, San Luis Obispo, CA, USLet's start our gallery tour at Art Central, where multiple artists from the Central Coast Watercolor Society will be showing their works. This venue is actually not participating in Art After Dark this month, so they'll be closing at 6pm — don't be late if you want to see all the paintings!
We will then walk together and enjoy a few other galleries. If you came to our last Art After Dark outing in August: we'll visit some new venues this time, plus a few familiar spots with an updated selection of artworks.

Paint night at Forever Stoked
Forever Stoked, 1164 Quintana Rd, Morro Bay, CA, USForever Stoked is a local art collective known for its vibrant, quirky, psychedelic style. Our group had a lovely time visiting their gallery in Morro Bay a few weeks ago and meeting one of the artists. Let's go back to that cool spot — this time to try our hand at painting in their whimsical style!
I'm picking their November 8th event based on what we'll be painting that day, but if the group feels strongly about a different artwork, I'm open to changing our plan. You can check out all the options at this link. (Just don't pick the 7pm ones — it's too late for most of us!)
Logistics: the cost is $50 and includes all the supplies and materials. They don't provide drinks, but you're welcome to bring your own drink or snacks to enjoy while painting.
IMPORTANT: Each of us will need to register and pay at the Forever Stoked website as early as possible. I'll probably bug you guys again about registering, but anything beyond that is out of my control — if not enough folks sign up, the artist may cancel the event, or it may fill up before you can get a spot, so don't wait till the last moment!

Hope to see you there! 🎨☀️🌊
