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.

its projects, visit the City of
