At the end of May, we welcomed singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kishi Bashi for a curated multi-day engagement along the Central Coast.

From a SOLD OUT concert at Sensorio beneath the glow of a signature Paso Robles sunset and the infamous Field of Light installation, to an inspiring workshop for Atascadero High School students, an intimate guest reception at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art, and a SOLD OUT screening of "Omoiyari: A Song Film by Kishi Bashi" at the Palm Theatre, audiences across the Central Coast experienced the artistry, storytelling, and creativity that make Kishi Bashi such a remarkable performer.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to our generous sponsors for making this artist engagement possible: Dr. Christopher Payne & Dr. Jeannette Potts, Sharon & John Dobson, KCBX, KSBY, and the Cal Poly Office of Culture & Institutional Excellence.
