Art Exposed Old Town
The next Call to Artists is now open for Art Exposed Old Town Florence! Apply directly on Call for Entry (CaFE) between now and October 31, 2024, for a chance to display sculptures in eight locations in Historic Old Town Florence.
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.
