Florence Public Art Committee

 



The following make up the public art committee for Florence. These six individuals selected the artist and subject matter for the new College Street mural:

Libby Jordan - Director of Florence Museums

Christi Britten - Kennedy-Douglass employee

Chiong-Yiao Chen - Art professor UNA

Aaron Benson - Asst. art professor UNA

Mary White - Alabama Council of Arts

Billy Ray Warren - Florence City Historian


If you haven't seen the mural, rest assured it is indeed beautiful. Yet we're hearing criticism on several levels. We've seen one comment on Facebook that suggested additions that could be made to the mural in the middle of the night. Let's hope not!

For those who have contacted us with ideas for future murals, please contact the members of the art committee listed above. If you would like to serve on the committee in future, you should contact the Florence City Council. 

Speaking of the council:

Not Florence Council

Looks like, again, it was Andy all along...
