San Luis Outdoor Painters for the Environment is a charitable organization, a group of professional artists who create artworks capturing the beauty and uniqueness of California’s Central Coast. Working with local and national organizations, we use art to draw public attention to this area and generate funds to preserve local lands for open space, wildlife, and ecologically respectful recreation, ranching and farming.

Colors of Conservation 2026 - Another Big Year!!!

SLOPE’s 5th annual art event to benefit the Land Conservancy of SLO County was another huge success. Over $25,000 in sales of original fine art and prints. Over $10,000 in donations to LCSLO for land conservancy efforts. The largest display of artwork that captures scenes of county open spaces and historic ranches under agreements with LCSLO.
