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.

SUMMARY:7:30 AM | Virtual Good Morning SLO - July 2021
DESCRIPTION:Grab breakfast and coffee and join us for this month’s Good Morning SLO program. To preserve some community connection in this time of being apart\, you’ll have the chance to interact with speakers by asking your most pressing questions. Zoom invite will be sent upon registration. \nThank you to this month’s featured sponsor: \n \n\nRISING STRONGER TOGETHER \n \nIt was announced earlier this month that two great organizations dedicated to combating sexual assault and intimate partner violence\, RISE and Stand Strong\, would be joining forces under the new banner Lumina Alliance. We invited CEO\, Jennifer Adams\, to discuss the mission and vision for the new organization. \n\nMORRO BAY TAKES CHARGE \n \nIn early June\, the city of Morro Bay reached a tentative agreement that would pave the way for the world’s largest battery storage facility. Morro Bay City Manager Scott Collins will discuss the value that battery storage can bring to our grid and to the Central Coast region in particular. \n\nCONNECTING COMMUNITIES TO CARE \n \nAcross the country\, COVID-19 showed us the long way to go to health equity\, highlighting unequal access among racial and ethnic minorities. Promotores Collaborative of San Luis Obispo’s\, Director of Programs\, Erica Ruvalcaba-Heredia\, will offer insight into their work during the pandemic ensuring our Hispanic community has access to vital resources and services. \n\nCAMPING REIMAGINED \n \nWith campsite reservations booked six months out and cancellations being traded in private Facebook groups\, it’s clear that campsite supply simply hasn’t kept up with demand. Out of the struggle emerged Hipcamp\, another app based peer-to-peer disruptor in the tourism industry. Buddy Campo\, small business owner and Cambria Hipcamp host will share his experience and opine on the future of camping. \n\nREPRESENTING THE CENTRAL COAST \n \nSanta Barbara City Councilmember Meagan Harmon was recently appointed to represent the South Central Coast district on the California Coastal Commission. The state-run body will have many votes in the coming years that could shape the Central Coast for generations. Councilmember Harmon will join us to introduce herself and share more about the commission. \n\nREDRAWING THE LINES \n \nEvery ten years\, census data is used to update and redraw state and local political boundaries. Julie Rodewald\, Voter Services Director for the League of Women Voters and former SLO County Clerk Recorder\, will share background on the process and how you can get involved. \n\nThank you to our 2021 Good Morning SLO Annual Sponsors:​
