To the Members of the San Luis Obispo City Council:
We are writing to express our strong support for the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art and its planned expansion into
two adjacent buildings on Higuera Street, in the heart of our beautiful downtown.
The new museum will be a cultural landmark and it will expand the art experience of the people who live here, our
students and our visitors. It will also contribute to our local economy. People who visit SLOMA are likely to spend at
nearby restaurants, shops, and hotels, supporting local businesses and helping sustain a vibrant downtown.
The planned expansion will double the museum’s art education resources, offering even more opportunities for
children, families, and lifelong learners to engage creatively. Beyond its economic and educational value, the museum
will continue to serve as a place of cultural insight, community connection, and inspiration—a gathering space that
enriches life in San Luis Obispo for residents and visitors alike.
We urge the City Council to support this important project and recognize the lasting benefits it will bring to our city’s
cultural and economic vitality.
Thank you for your time and commitment to our community, and to this issue.
Sincerely,
Deb and John Spatafore
