There’s a new mural in San Luis Obispo inspired by the legend of a mythical Black warrior queen, called "Calafia Was Here," which the SLO Museum of Art says explores the unrecorded histories of Black Americans in the West.

– San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) has announced Erin Leann Mitchell as the artist commissioned for its next outdoor mural. It is the second in a series of murals which cover all four sides of the museum’s building in downtown San Luis Obispo. Scheduled to change on an annual basis, San Luis Obispo Museum of Art selects emerging artists with diverse backgrounds from across the country.
