The theme of this year's Beacon Art Show, held at the San Luis Obispo United Methodist Church, is Artistic Spectrum. An opening reception for the 2023 exhibition is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 3, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

This year's showcase marks the program's 15th annual event and features visual artworks from 55 participating artists. The show will remain on display at the church through the beginning of April.

The opening reception for this year's exhibit will include an awards presentation to recognize a handful of artworks selected and ranked by a group of judges. The show includes a variety of media, including drawings, paintings, fabric art, sculptures, and more.

Purchases of artworks included in the exhibit—which originated in 2008—directly benefit the artists, as the San Luis Obispo United Methodist Church will not take a percentage of the purchase price. Last year's iteration of the Beacon Art Show is available to view virtually online at beaconartshow.com.
