SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2017 Florence announces a ‘Call to artists’ The City of Florence and the City’s Public Art Committee (PAC) are pleased to announce plans to create and install several high impact art projects. The PAC believes that these projects will generate commu- nity pride and connectivity, provide artists a creative outlet with high visibility, and bene- fit citizens with quality and meaningful public art while encouraging economic devel- opment and tourism. The first project the group is seeking artists for will be the Siuslaw Bridge Steps Art Installation. The Siuslaw Bridge in Old Town Florence is an historic landmark, long a symbol for the city and gateway to the riverfront downtown area. The Siuslaw Bridge Steps Art Installation Project is an exciting outdoor public art project designed to beautify and enhance the park-like hill and pedestrian steps leading from Old Town Florence up to the Siuslaw Bridge. The vision for this project is to install artwork on the steps, utilizing them as a canvas while also incorporating the railings, lighting and natural incline of the landscape. The goal of this project is to bring this interesting but often overlooked area of Old Town to life with eye-catching and interactive art while maintain- ing the functionality and safe- ty of the steps for pedestrians. The group is looking for imaginative designs that include the possibility of com- munity participation at some stage of the installation process. Design ideas that utilize a variety of media are encour- aged.
