Art Exposed Old Town 2020-2022

Art Exposed Old Town 2018-2020

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.

With the 2020-2022 round, the City of Florence expanded Art Exposed to five locations in the Old Town area: Rain Garden, River Roasters, Interpretive Center East, Gazebo Park Plaza, and Maple Street Plaza.

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.
