Florence unveils ‘transformational’ public art near Old Town, OCMM Three new pieces of public art made their de- but in the City of Florence this week. Florence Public Art Committee (PAC) unveiled “Copper Leaf Tree,” by area resident Pancho Clark, and “Transformation,” by British Columbia artist Paul Reimer, in two locations in Historic Old Town Florence. These installations are part of the committee’s new Art Exposed Gallery, which will eventually include five pieces on display on Bay Street. The committee will also continue to spread public art around town. Clark attended the reveal of his steel and copper artwork at Old Town Park on Monday. The park, also called Gazebo Park, now has one more tree amidst the verdant greenery. “It’s been a long time in the making to have public art in our town, and to get art exposed,” Clark said. “Things are really moving along now.” On Thursday, PAC Chairman Har- len Springer present- ed Reimer’s recycled railroad track. “This artwork represents the tran- sition from an in- dustrialized econ- omy to a ‘greener’ By Chantelle Meyer Siuslaw News PHOTOS BY JARED ANDERSON, MARK BRENNAN AND CHANTELLE MEYER/SIUSLAW NEWS Rhody Days economy where we take care of our environment in order that it may sustain us for gen- erations to come,” Reimer said about his work. Besides PAC’s additions to Florence public art, the Ore- gon Coast Military Museum (OCMM), 2145 Kingwood St., erected two vintage military aviation wing tanks on Thurs- day. The stunning pieces have been hand-painted by artist Judy Murphy to de- pict coastal and Oregonian themes. “The wing tanks now stand at the Kingwood Street entrance to the museum to enhance vis- ibility of the facility as a destination attraction,” said OCMM Executive Director Cal Applebee. The two tanks, from a 1970s era F-4 fighter, were donated by Florence resident Fred Calosso, and stand approximately 15 feet tall. Founding OCMM board member Tim Sapp helped spear- head the project with area partners. A weekly roundup of shopping, savings and doings around town.
