City of Florence issued the following announcement on June 10.
Art Exposed is a rotating, outdoor art gallery where artists display their art for two years at a very low cost to the City of Florence. While on display, the pieces of art are available for purchase. If a piece is sold, 30% of the profit is reinvested into the City of Florence's public art program. The current pieces will be on display until Winter 2022.
