Most parents expose their children to the arts in traditional ways–museum visits, art classes on weekends, art supplies on hand at home, or some combination of these. In Paso Robles, an easy two-hour drive from the Monterey Peninsula, you can expose your children to art in a unique way.
Bruce Munro: Field of Light at Sensorio is installed on over 15 acres just outside of downtown Paso Robles and is comprised of over 58,800 stemmed spheres lit by fiber-optics. Powered by solar, the stunning exhibition invites visitors to engage with the landscape and environment through a light-based, sculptural experience.
Docents are stationed throughout the event to answer questions and help guests navigate the 1/2 mile of pathways. The display is set on rolling hills and guests walk through the artwork as the lights–and the night sky–changes.

Eight hundred tickets are sold for each evening’s event distributed between the three available time slots. The result is that the installation remains relatively uncrowded, even on weekends. Field of Light is expected to remain open through January 5, 2020.
TIP: Purchase the entry ticket that allows you to arrive before sunset. The best time to view the installation is as the sun is setting. The sky turns beautiful shades of orange and blue and you’ll be able to watch as the field changes colors as the sky darkens. It’s magical!
