About the Open Call

The City of Florence public art program plays a strong role in community vitality and cultural fabric. The initiative provides opportunities to increase awareness and education of public art by developing a sense of place through the creation of new works. Projects include Art Exposed, a rotating outdoor art gallery in Old Town and along the Highway 101 corridor, as well as the Florence Public Art Quest. The collection aims to capture the essence and diversity of Florence.

What is Offered

Selected artwork is displayed in a high-visibility, rotating outdoor gallery. The program has a history of purchasing works for permanent display (e.g., the 2025 purchase of 'Golden/Yellowstone').

How to Apply

Artists can find active calls for art on the 'Call for Art' section of the City of Florence website or by signing up for the Public Arts Committee email distribution list.
