WELCOME On behalf of all of us at Studios on the Park, we invite you to join us at the Central Coast’s finest arts celebration. Since 2009, PASO ARTSFEST has been at the heart of our efforts to educate and inspire through the arts. We at Studios are thankful to be part of the fabric of this extraordinary Central Coast community. Paso Robles is a place renowned for its award-winning wines, innovative cuisine, welcoming California country style, and now with ARTSFEST, a burgeoning arts scene. Indeed, ARTSFEST is a prime example of Paso Robles’ unique, can-do spirit – a synergy derived from our generous sponsors, hard-working volunteers, talented artists and performers, and our enthusiastic attendees of all ages. As our guest, you will be captivated by the work of acclaimed artists. The Local Stars Quick-Draw, Outdoor Fine Art Show & Sale and Signature Exhibition provide three spectacular ways to enhance your own collection of fine art and fine craft. Your purchases throughout the weekend will support Studios on the Park and our essential arts services. ARTSFEST is our biggest fundraising event of the year with a portion of all sales directly benefiting our arts access and education programming for local children and adults. At this year’s ARTSFEST, the most important medium is you. Paint yourself into the scene: dress up as an artist or famous work of art for the “Come As You Art” Costume Party , explore Studios on the Park and the Signature Exhibition, watch a masterpiece come to life in the Quick-Draw, celebrate creativity in the Kids Art Smart Zone, shop ‘til you drop in the Outdoor Fine Art Show & Sale canopies, take a selfie with a stiltwalker, discover your inner artist in CREATEspace, marvel at the Sand Masters, relax with a glass of wine in the Bar & Lounge and get your groove on in the Pine Street Promenade. This picture-perfect weekend will enchant, indulge, enrich and renew you; we don’t want you to miss a moment! Barbara Partridge Festival Chair, PASO ARTSFEST Board President, Studios on the Park

Since opening our doors in 2009, Studios on the Park has become a centerpiece for the arts in San Luis Obispo County and beyond. One of the most effective visual arts nonprofit organizations on the West Coast, we are dedicated to providing a creative, educational, and transformational experience to enhance understanding and appreciation of the visual arts. We realize this commitment by making the creative process available to the public and have already touched more than a quarter of a million lives with arts programs and events that excite, engage and inspire. That is an amazing achievement, and one that you, our advocates, make possible. We are proud to bring PASO ARTSFEST to life each year.
Thank you! 4 PASO ARTSFEST 2016
