Public Art Project Update
We're pleased to announce that the 1st Avila Beach Public Art Project commissioned by the Foundation has been completed. Be sure to check out the Lifeguard Tower Murals on Tower 1 & Tower 2 on either side of the Avila Pier that were created by local artist Collen Gnos! Tower 1 features the History of Avila Beach & Tower 2 depicts the Future of Avila Beach. Each mural tells a story about Avila. A very special thanks to our project partners and supporters including ARTS Obispo, Port San Luis Harbor District, County of SLO, Chevron, PG & E and the Sara Horne Art Fund. We would love to get your feedback on the project - see above for link to take a short survey. |

Grantee News!Foundation Board of Trustee members Richard Zacky, Lisa Ritterbuck, Beverly Aho and Executive Director Rick Cohen, presented a check for $5,000 to representatives of the Point San Luis Lighthouse Keepers at a dedication at the Lighthouse. The matching grant was part of three projects funded by the Foundation over the past two years: 1) a new handicap ramp connecting to the Main Keeper’s residence to provide better access for guests with mobility issues, 2) the repair of the deck and stairs to the Head Keeper's quarters and 3) restoration of the light station lamp housing.

New Donor Advised Fund
The Avila Beach Trails Improvement Fund was established in December of 2016 through an initial donation from Avila Valley residents Steve and Cyndy Lakowske. The Lakowske family members are avid hikers and runners, and launched the “Trails” fund to support the development of new paths and/or the maintenance/improvement of current trails throughout the greater Avila Beach areas. Other members of the community are invited to contribute to this fund that benefits countless locals and visitors alike.
