A small art museum with free admission! There are about two dozens of arts that is carefully picked. Some interesting once. A good spot to immerse yourself in art at a small town.
Fantastic place to check out unique local artist’s work!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree
This place is always a good visit. They have never bored me with their selected works, they have a good variety of artists, and the museum itself sits on the edge of the plaza adjacent to the Mission and the creek. This is downtown so parking isn't free, but SLO has a parking structure and a couple of lots within blocks and parking is far, far cheaper than any downtown area in a larger city. There is a wonderful selection of gifts, including jewelry, here. I purchased a necklace for my MIL she still wears and talks about 20 years later. They also have camps for kids during the summer to teach them various artistic techniques one of the better camps my kid has been to, although they were half days which made it tricky. My one complaint is the hours. 11 to 5 makes it impossible to go during the week for me and closing at 5 on a weekend makes it too early to then go to dinner downtown right afterward. If they could extend their hours by maybe an hour on the back end, or shift them to 12 to 6, it would make it loads easier to pop in on a regular basis for those who work and those who want to hit the museum on a date night before dinner.
The Museum of Art has reopened. I was there on their reopening day. It was free, masks required and the front and back doors were open for ventilation. And it is very small so it’s easy to see everything in 10 minutes. The theme was the ocean and it was interesting especially the water feature. The wooden pieces on the other side with posh undergarments were odd. Good to support the arts and hopefully people will make a donation.
Small but mighty! Just 2 rooms and an exhibit hallway but had some very interesting pieces. A great way to spend an hour or two!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
Wonderful, geeky, thought provoking, and interactive.
Souvenirs, classes, free admission with donation boxes out. Local schools have student artwork on display. Not a real big collection but great local entertainment
Cute, small museum in the area near mission.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
Great place to visit. Lots of future plans and I look forward to seeing those improvements. Considering the town is small but the amount of visitors in the area could surely improve the looks and the type of artist they feature. Overall the staff was great and when I went they were featuring local artist.
