Corazón Café is thrilled to announce a call for submissions for their next community art SLOscapes: Local portraits matching SLO scenes. This playful and creative photography exhibition invites everyone, from seasoned photographers to curious first-timers, to participate. No need to be a professional, just someone ready to explore art, identity and place through your camera or phone.

The show’s theme focuses on portraits where the subject blends into their background — whether that’s through color, pattern, texture or visual storytelling. Portraits can be of individuals or groups, and your background could be anything found across San Luis Obispo County: murals, buildings, local businesses, parks, museums, streetscapes, wherever you feel inspired. 

Most importantly, this show is about having fun and celebrating the creative spirit of the community.

To participate:

  • Email Sara at [email protected] by Monday, August 25, 2025 or sooner to express your interest.
  • Selected works must be framed and ready to hang and delivered to Corazón Café on Sunday, August 31.
  • The show opens during Art After Dark on Friday, September 5, a perfect evening to showcase your idea come to life alongside other local community members.

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to reach out to Sara at the café. Whether you’re submitting a polished piece or your first photo experiment, they would love to see what you create!
