It's gonna be a long hot summer! Here are some new shows to start working on for June, July and August!
Dear Everyone,
The Florence Arts Council had four different Public Art projects scheduled for this summer.
The large outdoor sculpture that Rudl Mergelman is in charge of is still a go...just on a temporary hiatus.
We have postponed the Main Street tree-wrapping project. At least two of the four events that were to showcase this Installation have been canceled so we are therefore going to move it to next year.
We will reintroduce our indoor public art fundraiser with the plastic boxes when we reopen in August. {We are planning on reopening August 4th}.
Last but not least, we are ready to begin our “Ditch Wall” project starting Wednesday June 3, 2020. We have received our official letter from the City of Florence. The wall is 81 feet long by more than 32 inches high and will be covered in a tile-style mosaic. The theme is “There’s Something in the Air”. The design has been split into elements and areas. An element— being a kite or balloons, for example. An area — being the top of the wall split into roughly 11” by 16” spaces. We will be needing lots of tile —both whole and in pieces, broken dishes and pottery, metal bottle caps, bits of jewelry, seashells, small rounded rocks [50 cent size] and foreign coins. NO GLASS except sea glass and the small rounded pieces that are used in flower vases. Any and all colors will be used.
How can you participate in this “Forever” project? Collect some of the above supplies and drop them off on the porch at the Bell Tower. You can also become one of the artists by donating your time and actually working on a specific element or area.
We will be working on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8am to 10am. Other times can also be arranged. Come and do only one element or an area, or continue and do even more.
We will have a limit of 10 artists at any given time and the public will be required to stay west of the sidewalk due to current social distancing requirements.
Sincerely,
Peg Piltingsrud. 429-9579
