The Office of Collecting and Design, an interactive museum of “lost” and “forgotten” objects, is taking its beloved collection on the road! The museum is often described as a “nostalgia machine,” transporting visitors into a world of delight, curiosity, and half-buried memories. The previous brick and mortar space has been transformed into a 42’ traveling museum, where visitors can open every drawer, explore every box, and engage in hands-on experiences like the Flatlay Session or Scavenger Hunt.

This San Luis Obispo journey kicks off at The Bunker on Tuesday April 29th and closes on May 3rd. Along the way, the museum will be collaborating with incredible local businesses and creative spaces to offer a truly one-of-a-kind experience at every destination.

The Cambria Center for the Arts (CCA) is thrilled to announce this special exhibit, a unique art and literary event. The work of local visual artists will be displayed along with accompanying brief, written interpretations provided by a talented community of writers. Participants will include the Joslyn Center group, “Rough Writers,” as well as a variety of local poets, novelists, journalists, and high school students. Amateur and professional writers will partake in this event.
When: April 29 to June 29 (Tuesday through Sundays from 12 to 4 pm)
Artist’s Reception: Saturday, May 3, from 4:30-6:00 pm
Contact: www.cambriaarts.org or Sheri Parisian at gallery@cambriaarts.org.

Come and see a collection of black and white illustrations by Storie Grubb.
Where reality meets fantasy
Where humor absorbs tragedy
Where art imitates life
Where my hand meets pen to paper

Exhibit runs May 3rd to June 29th.

Joyce Bauerle, a printmaker for over twenty years, will entice us into her world of printmaking.
Bauerle demonstrates how anyone can create beautiful prints without a printing press. She shows us how to use a Gel Slab in printmaking, using acrylic paint and printmaking inks, plant material, stencils, foam, and other found materials to mark and build layered colors.

Join us to celebrate First Saturdays—a fun tradition of art, wine, and live music-filled evenings at the start of each month!
Enjoy the opening of "In Your Dreams" while enjoying music by Kenny Taylor and wine from one of our generous Winery Partners, Dubost.

Don't miss out on a beautiful afternoon filled with spring-fresh food and beverages, award-winning wines, live music and auction, live artist demonstration, award presentations, and of course, a unique chance to support our mission to inspire stewardship of nature through art and education.
