New art now on display at Florence Chamber of Commerce
The Florence Area Chamber
of Commerce’s Visitor Center,
290 Highway 101, features a
different local artist each
month. Their July display of
local artistry features a variety
of pieces from Backstreet
Gallery.
“Backstreet Gallery’s dis-
play fills the walls and counters
of the Chamber’s Visitors
Center with original paintings,
photography, fiber art, pastels,
ceramics, glass art, gourd
enhancement, woodwork and
even books,” says Executive
Director Bettina Hannigan.
“The artists from Backstreet
love to express their love of
Florence and the Oregon Coast
in their art work,” says Karen
Nichols, Backstreet Gallery’s
publicist. “To express this love,
showing at the chamber gives
them a chance to promote
tourism and economic growth
in their community and brag a
little about the beauty we have
here in Florence through their
art.”
Backstreet Gallery features
the work of local artists

ship in raising Florence’s pro-
file with potential visitors and
attracting visitors to Florence to
appreciate and participate in
this burgeoning area of
tourism.”
“The background of each
artist is varied from teaching,
graphic design, public rela-
tions, floral design, corporate
administration, to theater and
more,” Nichols explains. “They
are well traveled and have lived
in various places around the
United States and the world.
They bring with them the diver-
sity that makes Backstreet
Gallery one of the best galleries
on the Oregon Coast.”
According to Nichols the
artists’ work has been shown in
