Visual Arts Exhibit
The Visual Arts Exhibit in the Clark Center Lobby offers patrons the opportunity to experience the work of regional artists in rotating exhibits throughout the year.
The exhibit is available for viewing at scheduled performances and during regular Box Office hours Tue-Fri 1-6 and Sat 10-4.
Calling All Artists: Showcase and sell work in the Clark Center Visual Arts Exhibit
We are now accepting applications from fine artists who are interested in displaying and selling their work!
Our lobby is filled with art from local artists year round! Mixed media such as oil, watercolor, pastels, pen and ink, sketching, etc. are encouraged, as well as sculptures and photography.
Although we do not charge artists to exhibit, we humbly ask that 20% of the proceeds from pieces that sell be invested back into our student scholarship and grant programs. These scholarships benefit graduating seniors who will be pursuing an education in the arts.
Art pieces are juried for content acceptability and 10 artists will be selected to display their work for two consecutive months.

It has been a lifetime love for Sunny to draw and paint. She holds a degree in Fine Arts from Pepperdine University, Malibu, California and continued her education with classes at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Ca and numerous ongoing workshops throughout the country. Many of Sunny’s paintings have been accepted in national and international shows including Harness Tracks of America, Grass Valley Draft Horse Classic, and Horse and Country, Canada. She is a signature member of Watercolor West.
Sunny is a member of the Central Coast Watercolor Society and taught art at a local elementary school in Indio for 15 years. She taught at the “Young at Art” program at the C.V. Historical Museum in Indio during the summer for over 20 years.
Sunny lives in Arroyo Grande now.
Rachelle Toti is an Arroyo Grande based artist who works in Mixed Media, Acrylics and Oil paints. She creates both abstract and realistic art. She has taken many classes and workshops from various artists over the past 30 years and incorporates some of their techniques in her art. Rachelle is inspired to paint animals, especially birds and scenes with water features. She creates artwork inspired by nature, yet not an exact replication. Since moving to Arroyo Grande fifteen years ago, she has had a small studio to work in. She endeavors to create one-of-a-kind artworks, that sometimes are visualized or come “out of my head”. Her studio is filled with a wide variety of found objects, old jewelry, maps, papers, bubble wrap etc. which all find their way into her art eventually. In the mixed media piece The Mermaid, the photo of the mermaid had been in a file for more than 10 years. It is a statue located near the pool at the Sunset House resort, Grand Cayman Island where she was married in 1978.
Rachelle has been fascinated with birds since age 3 or 4. She has had many pet birds in her lifetime and became a birder when she moved to San Luis Obispo County. She supports the Sierra Club, Pacific Wildlife Center and both Morro Bay and national Audubon Societies.
