SUMMARY:Atmospheres Deep Exhibition to Explore Humans Connection to the Ocean 
DESCRIPTION:San Luis Obispo Museum of Art Reopens for Visitors  \n Atmospheres Deep Exhibition to Explore Humans Connection to the Ocean  \nMarking San Luis Obispo Museum of Art’s (SLOMA) first public show since the beginning of the pandemic\, Atmospheres Deep will premiere for the public at the end of May. This multimedia group exhibition examines coastal regions above and below the ocean’s surface to emulate these atmospheres and uncover human impact on the ocean. The artworks selected for Atmospheres Deep present the feeling of increasing atmospheric pressure experienced during ocean exploration. Atmospheres Deep begins Saturday\, May 29\, and runs through Sunday\, August 1. Reflected in the reopening\, the Museum also announces new hours of 11 a.m. to 5p.m. from Thursday – Monday each week.   \nPresented in collaboration with SUPERCOLLIDER\, Atmospheres Deep draws metaphorical parallels between the real and the psychological pressure we experience in reaction to an impending ecological tipping point for the overall health of marine ecosystems.  \nThe artists featured in the exhibition include Christine Wertheim\, Carolina Caycedo\, Courtney Mattison\, Stephen Ehret\, Elena Soterakis\, Maru Garcia\, Isabel Beavers\, Danielle Parsons\, Richelle Gribble\, Emma Akmakdijan\, among others. For the Atmospheres Deep exhibition\, each artists’ work embodies a desire to rekindle society’s relationship with the world’s oceans and illustrates these critical issues in a range of mixed media video works\, sculptures and paintings.  \n“SLOMA is thrilled to be reopening to our public so we can continue our mission of being accessible\, relevant and exciting to the community we serve\,” said Leann Standish\, executive director of SLOMA. “The California Central Coast region benefits so much from the ecological beauty and diversity of the ocean. Atmospheres Deep will really strike a cord with our regional audiences and highlight important issues.”    \nIn celebration of the Atmospheres Deep exhibition\, SLOMA will host a Zoom panel discussion on June 23 from 6–7 PM PST. The panel discussion will be moderated by Guest Curators Richelle Gribble and Emma Akmakdjian with conversation between Maru Garcia\, Christine Wertheim Elena Soterakis\, and Benjamin Ruttenberg\, marine biologist and Director of Cal Poly’s Center for Coastal Marine Science. Interested parties may register for the panel discussion on the exhibition webpage: https://sloma.org/exhibition/atmospheres-deep/  \nIn addition to reopening\, SLOMA is launching “Gallery on the Go”\, free family art making activities every Second Saturday. For Atmospheres Deep\, the “Gallery on the Go” art kits will contain paintable ocean-themed postcards with Spira algae pigment to be used for the watercolor painting activity. The activity encourages people to think creatively about the use of ocean byproducts and sustainable artistic materials.  \nAtmospheres Deep is generously sponsored by Barbara Renshaw with additional support from Hotel SLO\, Pacific Western Bank and PG&E.   \nSLOMA will also be hosting Objectifying\, an exhibition featuring the sculptures of Elisa Ortega Montilla\, beginning May 29 through June 27\, 2021. Montilla’s work explores the objectification of women’s bodies and mixes fine woodworking with repurposed textiles\, mostly women’s undergarments. These mixed-media sculptures focus on three fundamental parts of who she is: her experience of being a woman and her feminist values; her feelings of acculturation from living in the US while maintaining her Spanish identity; and her opposition to consumerism and commitment to environmental sustainability. In conjunction with this exhibition\, Montilla will be giving an artist talk discussing her practices and the role of feminism in contemporary art via Instagram Live on Wednesday\, June 2 from 6–6:30 PM PST. Viewers can access the conversation at @SLOMuseumOfArt.

Zoom invite will be sent upon registration. \nThank you to this month’s featured sponsor: \n \n\nTHE BLUES ARE BACK IN TOWN!\nJune 15 was an important date for more reasons than one.

In celebration of their return\, Adam Stowe\, General Manager and Owner of Blues Baseball\, will share with us what to expect from the 2021 season.\n\nWAVES OF HEALING\nLocal nonprofit\, AmpSurf\, recently teamed up with the Women’s Veterans Surf Project for a surf clinic aimed at bringing healing to various traumas\, including sexual assault\, domestic violence and combat-related trauma. Dana Cummings\, Founder & President of AmpSurf\, will share how the program uses ocean therapy to work through easing trauma. \n\nPRIDE AND PURPOSE\nFor the first time in 25 years\, Pride festivities kicked off in May\, a month early on the Central Coast. Ambassador and Chair of Central Coast Pride\, Ila Moncrief\, will share the genesis behind moving the celebrations up and how doing so further increased visibility and connection for the LGBTQIA+ community. \n\nSHOOT FOR THE MOON TO CURE CANCER\nAs diligence and innovation in medicine resulted in record setting development of COVID-19 vaccines\, we can’t help but wonder what other illnesses can be cured next? The first practice in California to join the federal Cancer Moonshot program was Arroyo Grande’s PCR Oncology\, and Dr. David Palchak will give a peek behind the curtain into the huge effort to cure cancer. \n\nRETURNING TO THE OLD NORMAL?\nAs we emerge from more than a year of disruption\, nearly everyone is searching for the optimal return-to-workplace strategy. Michael Gunther\, Founder and Managing Partner of Collaboration Business Consulting\, will share key elements for a smooth transition and guidance for leaders as they design a path back to the office. \n\nRECOVERING FROM THE ONE-IN-A-MILLION\nIn January\, a local 11-year-old went from a backyard tree-swing to an emergency helicopter to Fresno’s Valley Children’s Hospital in just 48 hours. Writer\, editor and teacher Sara Roahen\, will share her family’s harrowing story and what she learned about recovery along the way. \n\nThank you to our 2021 Good Morning SLO Annual Sponsors:​
