In 2012, the Florence City Council dedicated the third Saturday in July every year to be known as the Power of Flor- ence, a day dedicated to volunteer- ing, giving back, and making a dif- ference. “It’s been a crazy year due to COVID, so sadly we’re not doing the Party in the Parking Lot at Grocery Outlet,” said Power of Florence Di- rector Ava Glowacki. “Instead, we’re encouraging everyone to participate in service projects around town. Even if we can’t all be together, we can still make a difference.” Some longtime supporters of the event will be holding events throughout the day, including Delta Gamma, Florence Food Share, KXCR Community Radio, Save the Oregon Dunes, Sea Scouts, Siuslaw Educa- tion Foundation and Western Lane Ambulance District. In addition, the Florence Van Fans will be holding its Ice Cream Social at the Florence Events Center. The Power of Florence was found- ed by Kaylee Graham when she was just 11 years old. The annual day of service is about “Each One. One Day. Making a Difference, Together.” According to its website, “In 11 years, this community has raised more than $42,000 for non-profits, SCHEDULE OF EVENTS: have had 79 service projects, and 9 to 10:30 a.m. — Rolling Dunes collected more than 14,000 pounds Park • Delta Gamma will be at the tennis courts and working on park beautification 9:45 a.m. to noon — Heceta Dunes (Joshua Lane) • Save the Oregon Dunes Scotch Broom Pull • Bring gloves, buckets and sunscreen 10 a.m. to noon — Miller Park • Book Gifting Event free giveaway for kids 5-14 sponsored by Shannon Graham 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. — Habitat for Humanity ReStore • Habitat for Humanity Bottle and Can Drive of food for our Florence Food Share and for the Oregon Coast Humane Society during the Power of Florence.

HearingAssociatesofFlorence.com the goals of a new state- wide Artist Registry cre- ated by the Oregon Arts Commission (OAC) in partnership with The Ford Family Foundation. Professional artists from across Oregon are encour- aged to sign up for the reg- istry by completing a brief survey about themselves and their artistic practice. The hope is to reach and connect with as many Or- egon artists as possible, in- cluding those who haven’t previously accessed fund- ing programs. “We know there are many more working art- ists throughout the state than we currently have in our database,” said Eleanor Sandys, the Arts Commis- sion’s Interim Visual Arts Coordinator. “Our hope is to update and expand our artist network so that we can better support the diverse artists in Oregon’s many communities.” Anne Kubisch, president of The Ford Family Foun- dation, said, “We’re pleased to continue a longstanding partnership with the Arts Commission to reach and support the growth of the artists of Oregon.” Once established, the Artist Registry will allow the Arts Commission and The Ford Family Foun- dation, as well as other funding partners, to dis- tribute information about upcoming funding oppor- tunities. It also will create more comprehensive data about Oregon artists for planning and advocacy purposes. While the Artist Registry will remain open, artists are strongly encouraged to sign up by September 30 to establish a base registry. The Oregon Arts Com- mission provides leader- ship, funding and arts pro- grams through its grants, special initiatives and services. Nine commis- sioners, appointed by the Governor, determine arts needs and establish poli- cies for public support of the arts. The Arts Commission became part of Business Oregon (formerly Oregon Economic and Communi- ty Development Depart- ment) in 1993, in recogni- tion of the expanding role the arts play in the broader social, economic and edu- cational arenas of Oregon communities. In 2003, the Oregon legislature moved the op- erations of the Oregon Cultural Trust to the Arts Commission, streamlining operations and making use of the Commission’s expertise in grantmaking, arts and cultural informa- SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY JULY 17 JUULY 18 JULY 19 JULY 20 Partly Cloudy Sunny 66°F 55°F 67°F 50°F Mostly Sunny Partly Cloudy 67°F 53°F 65°F 51°F tion and community cul- tural development. The Arts Commission is supported with gener- al funds appropriated by the Oregon legislature and with federal funds from the National Endowment for the Arts as well as funds from the Oregon Cultural Trust. More information about the Oregon Arts Commission is available online at www.oregonarts- commission.org. The Visual Arts Pro- gram honors the late Hal- lie Ford, co-founder of The Ford Family Foundation, who left a legacy based on an interest in and a life- long support of the visual arts. The Program helps Oregon’s most promising, established visual artists actively pursue their work. It also seeks to enrich Oregon’s visual arts ecol- ogy by growing centers of excellence. The program, at times in collaboration with state and national partners, supports creative-work time and space, provides resources to artists at a crossroads in their prac- tice, engages arts writers and curators in critical conversations and makes investments in Oregon vi- sual arts institutions.
