While we’re all settling into our own new normal, Morro Bay Art Association is happy to announce Art Center Morro Bay has reopened.
The gallery is following “Business Readiness to Open” guidelines, set forth by the California Department of Public Health to help ensure we are offering a clean and safe environment tor our volunteers and customers. At this time, we are requiring volunteers and guests to wear some form of facial covering before entering the gallery.
Can we talk about face coverings for a moment please? Wearing a face covering while inside the gallery is not just a requirement, it’s an act of love and respect. Some of us feel it unnecessary, or even an infringement of our rights to be told to wear a mask. We get that. The disruptions in our lives are causing some to struggle with devastating financial losses as well. On the other hand, this thoughtful and considerate act, could save the lives of our friends, neighbors and strangers who may be medically vulnerable to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, Covid-19.
A hand sanitizing station is offered to our guests, floor decals are reminders to continue social distancing and hand washing efforts. If you do not have a face covering, we'll offer cloth masks for a nominal fee. Aside from professional weekly deep cleaning, docents are asked to sanitize before, during and after their shifts.
All of these new measures are part of a “worksite specific plan” designed to keep us all safe and healthy. This is truly an extraordinary time. Thank you for working together.
Thank you for understanding. Your kind and charitable spirits are the reason Art Center Morro Bay is such a great art center!
Art Center Morro Bay is currently open Thursday through Monday, 12pm - 4pm.

We are sad to say that OSAT 2020 will be canceled due to the current global health crisis. We would like to make sure our community is safe during these uncertain times. With an unknown timeline of how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last, we felt it was the most responsible decision to cancel the event this year.
Anyone that has already purchased a ticket or an advertisement will be refunded. Refunds will take up to 5-10 business days to return to your account.
Stay tuned for next year's Open Studios Art Tour - 2021!
Stay safe and healthy,

Thank You Ethan and KSBY News. We want everyone to know that Art Center Morro Bay's art exhibit, "For the Birds" is in conjunction with the Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival. We invited Pacific Wildlife Care, another non profit organization to join us for our reception in celebration of the birds. Pacific Wildlife Care is Morro Bay's only licensed bird rescue with people trained to rescue and return birds to their natural habitat. We would like to thank Kelly Vandenheuvel and the other volunteers who came and shared their beautiful rescued birds that are shared for educational purposes as they are unable to return to nature. Thank you KSBY and Ethan for sharing our art reception and the birds at Art Center Morro Bay today! Hope everyone comes out to see this great art exhibit! Art Center Morro Bay is open daily 12pm - 4pm. Patricia Newton, President
Visitors flock to the Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival to learn about birds and tour habitats

According to the event site, almost 600 people attended the 23rd annual event in 2019.Really surprised to see this photo of Michael Burke and I admiring these four exquisite rescued birds! Thanks to KSBY photographer for this photo!

Thank you, Art Center Morro Bay, and especially Gail Martin, for organizing another fabulous venture on the Central Coast. The excursion to Sensorio in Paso Robles was breath taking, the dinner beforehand was filling and delicious, and the company couldn't be beat. And did you schedule the trip on the full moon just as an added treat? Keep up the great work!
