Art After Dark is a free, self-guided art walk in downtown San Luis Obispo on the First Friday of each month from 5 to 8 p.m. Celebrate local creativity and enjoy visual exhibitions, live music, and community gatherings in local galleries, businesses, and organizations. We encourage residents and visitors alike to explore the uniqueness of arts and culture here in SLO County.

Visit local galleries and participating businesses! The list of venues and links to the digital and downloadable maps for each month can be found at slocountyarts.org/experience-aad.

Take photos of the spots you visit on your art walk and share your favorite moments using #ArtAfterDarkSLO.

Stop by participating businesses for special deals or treats. Many businesses will stay open later than their usual hours for Art After Dark, so this is your chance to browse their selection of goods after hours! Get this month's map! 

Check back each month for the updated list of participating venues and new perks of the art walk. You can also follow us on Instagram at @slocounty_arts, on Facebook at @SLO County Arts, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter (link on our home page) for Art After Dark updates.
