Corazón Café has another fun community photography show cooked up called SLOscapes: Local Portraits Matching SLO Scenes—and anyone can submit photos to hang on the café’s walls in September.
“The show’s theme focuses on portraits where the subject blends into their background—whether that’s through color, pattern, texture, or visual storytelling,” organizer Sara McGrath announced. “Portraits can be of individuals or groups, and your background could be anything found across San Luis Obispo County: murals, buildings, local businesses, parks, museums, streetscapes—wherever you feel inspired.”
This show is open to everyone. Enlist your friends. Be creative. Put on wacky outfits and have fun.
“This playful and creative photography exhibition invites everyone—from seasoned photographers to curious first-timers—to participate,” McGrath added. “You don’t need to be a professional, just someone ready to explore art, identity, and place through your camera or phone. Most importantly, this show is about having fun and celebrating the creative spirit of our community.”
Email your submission to McGrath at corazoncafeslo@gmail.com no later than Monday, Aug. 25. Selected photos will need to be framed, ready to hang, and delivered on Sunday, Aug. 31. The show opens during Art After Dark on Friday, Sept. 5. Δ
