Members of the Public Arts Committee will have information on each art piece, including price information, an artist bio, and description of the medium used to create each one. People will be taking pictures and video during the Art Walk.

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.
