Public Art Project News!The Avila Beach Community Foundation & ARTS Obispo are excited to announce that Colleen Gnos is the WINNER of the Downtown Avila Beach Public Art competition. Colleen will be painting murals on two of the Lifeguard towers on Avila Beach.

Special thanks to all that helped make this project possible including the Port San Luis Harbor District, the County of San Luis Obispo, the Selection Panel and our generous sponsors Chevron, PG & E and the Sara Horne Art Fund.
