SLOPOKE 2025: ART OF THE AMERICAN WEST
Get ready for the 15th annual SLOPOKE Art of the American West Exhibition and Sale, opening Friday, October 31st through Sunday November 2nd at 6 pm at the Octagon Barn Event Center in San Luis Obispo!
It’s Halloween weekend, and SLOPOKE is celebrating fifteen years of bringing together the best artists of the American West — painters, photographers, and sculptors from across California, Nevada, Colorado and Texas.
This year, 25 exceptional artists will showcase their unique visions of Western life — from realism to abstract — capturing the landscapes, animals, and people that define the spirit of the West.
Among the highlights, you’ll meet featured artist Derek Harrison of Santa Barbara, known for his soulful ranch scenes; William Wray, the Mad Magazine and Nickelodeon cartoonist turned acclaimed landscape painter; Steve Crawley of Texas, whose colorful, inventive work bridges fine art and digital design and Nancy Krause presenting her creative jewelry art for the second year.
Sculpture also takes center stage this year. Renowned sculptor Christopher Slatoff, Chair of Sculpture at the prestigious California Art Club, will demonstrate a clay model of a bronze work proposed for the people of Shell Beach — a rare opportunity to see a monumental artwork take shape. Joining him are sculptors Pat Roberts, Jim Stuckenberg, and Tom Peck, each bringing their own unique interpretations of Western form and spirit.
SLOPOKE opens Friday at 2 p.m. with an Opening Reception from 5:30 to 7:30, featuring music by Julie Beaver and the Rockin’ B’s Trio. Come in costume for a chance to win a prize! The show continues through Sunday, November 2nd.
Tickets are just $25 and include a keepsake SLOPOKE Art Book. Visit the-slopoke.com for tickets and hotel info.
