A SLOPE art event benefiting the Land Conservancy of SLO County is scheduled August 8 and 9 in the Milking Parlor at the iconic Octagon Barn Center. The fourth annual show is free and open to the public.

Colors of Conservation, an exhibit of more than 75 original oils and prints as well as live painting demonstrations, is a unique opportunity to support more than a dozen local artists as well as local conservation efforts. Wine and light bites also will be served.

SLOPE (San Luis Obispo Painters for the Environment) artists create paintings by visiting and working in open spaces, historic ranch lands, waterways, and coastal areas to capture the beauty of the Central Coast.

Last year’s show raised more than $9,000 to help protect SLO County wilderness and ranch lands.
