Art Exposed Old Town

Current Call for Art:

Art Exposed Old Town closed its Call for Artists on November 8, 2024. The Public Arts Committee and the Art Exposed Subcommittee met in November to review the applications and begin discussing finalists. In an effort to engage with the Florence community, there is now a webform that will serve as way for people to give feedback on the submissions. These comments will be part of the December 16, 2024, meeting of the Public Arts Committee, where the Committee will vote on the final pieces. 

To view the submissions and submit comment, go to Art Exposed Program Finalists. The Public Arts Committee would love to hear from you as they discuss the best fit for each of our  Old Town gallery locations.

Art Exposed Old Town

The City of Florence Art Exposed Rotating Outdoor Art Gallery Program is a dynamic bi-annual rotation of public art that improves the livability of the Florence area, creates a unique sense of place, and enhances community identity, while also providing an increased economic impact for visitors and residents. Art Exposed offers the community a chance to view interesting, “fresh” artwork every two years at a low cost, while providing artists with an opportunity to display and sell their work to a wide audience.

The City of Florence has eight Art Exposed locations in the Old Town area: Veterans Memorial Park, River Roasters, Rain Garden, Interpretive Center East, Gazebo Park Plaza, Secret Garden, Maple Street Park, and Florence Area Chamber of Commerce Lawn. Pieces on display are part of the 2022-2024 rotation of art.

All Art Exposed sculptures are available for sale. If a piece sells, the City of Florence retains 30% of the proceeds to reinvest in the Public Arts Program.

If you have any questions, please contact City of Florence Economic Development and Communications Analyst Chantelle Meyer by email HERE.
