As an art lover, I think Studios on the Park is a MUST VISIT if you're ever in Paso Robles!…read more This is a large space in the downtown area, right in the main park. It is a brightly-lit, high ceiling building that has a collection of artwork (for sale!) from multiple local talents of various mediums. I went in to look, but walked out with 2 multi-media oil painting-newspaper pieces from an artist named Holly whom I even got to meet! It was incredible to get to chat with her about what inspired her to create this kind of work. Then at checkout, my eyeballs deceived me by wandering to some cool glass-blown plant stick decorations that were made from the last Disney glass blower. So, I, of course, *had* to buy a couple of those delightful beauties! Everyone I met there was friendly and welcoming; there is much to look at and much to do there; it is also a place that has many giftable items if you have a birthday or holiday coming up or need some walls to fill. If I had more time, I would have stayed and participated in the self-paced $10 watercolor painting project that was setup in the middle of the hall. Heck, I could be here all day!

I was familiar with the work of the gallery owner, Julie Dunn from a benefit show at the SLO Botanical Garden. I had gotten several of her vivid landscape tiles as presents for my friends. We were immediately greeted by Julie, who is very personable, and is the perfect person to represent the paintings and artworks on display in the gallery. They depict the lush landscape and creative crafts of local San Luis Obispo artists. The crafts also display a sophisticated level of work, along with a sense of humor that make this the perfect place to come select gifts for your friends, or for yourself! I am looking forward to the upcoming show of floral themes!

We scored a charming AirBnB villa, and sampled various venues around the area for wine, beer, and olive oil tasting. On our last evening, we decided to head into town and seek a nice dining spot. Though it was a Tuesday, our first choice restaurant had a waiting list. That gave us time to stroll around the downtown plaza area. Many of the shops had just closed - this is not a nightlife kind of place as far as shopping goes, but the foodie places were just getting started. Our Sweet Granddaughter had a great time hanging out with her older cousins, and they took her farther around the park area than Dear Hubby and I had the energy to go on a hot night. The plaza has a small town vibe with lots of charm. Someone suggested a Hallmark movie kind of vibe. I agree with that assessment. Bring in some set decorators with some additional floral decor, and you'd be ready to be in the movie mode. We ended up at a different restaurant than we had originally planned for, and that was a good choice. Because of the wait we'd encountered it gave us more time to enjoy the unique architecture and vintage charm of the downtown Paso vibe.

Glad to see the cleanliness of the whole grounds--there are multiple trash cans available along the winding gravel path, but also it seems the hundreds of people who visit from all over are respectful and don't litter. My favorite art installation was called Dimensions: metallic 3D geometric sculptures with lights casting shadows, some of which you can spin by hand to create new shadows, like a kaleidoscope.

Every year towards the end of the months of April and October, Art In The Park is held in downtown City Park on 12th and Spring streets. The large grassy, oak studded park offers a nice venue for this free event. This affair draws artists from multiple states to showcase and promote their art forms. All artwork is available for purchase by attendees of the event. A plethora of art forms are available to enjoy - ceramics, clothing, fine jewelry, acrylic & oil paintings, photography, sculptures, glass works, metal artworks, woodworking, and much more. Parking is generally hard to find surrounding the park. Remember to check the parking signs as regulations have just changed again. Register your license plate with the parking kiosk as the first two hours are free and $1/hour thereafter. A few blocks in either direction, there are hundreds of free, non-metered spaces. The Art In The Park show at the downtown City Park is surrounded by a multitude of restaurants for a snack, lunch, or after-show dinner.

They definitely perfected each of their wines, so this place is a must try! They waive your tasting when you buy a bottle, so that was an awesome perk! We wish they had a vineyard we can go and become members at; we will definitely come again
