The Dancing With Sea Lions project began as a fundraiser for the 20th Anniversary of the Florence Events Center. The volunteers of the Florence Arts, Culture, and Entertainment nonprofit group (previously known as the Friends of the FEC) headed up this project in conjunction with the Florence Events Center Staff. Twenty life size sea lion sculptures were each painted by a different artist. All of them were displayed with their sponsors along the Oregon Coast till October of 2016, when they were then purchased by businesses and individuals. Fifteen of them are still publicly displayed in Florence and near by coastal locations. See our 'Where are they now' map for their current locations, and check our blog for updates. Share your Dancing Sea Lion pics with us and we'll add them to our Gallery of images.
FREE full color postcards showing where you can find all the publicly displayed sea lions are available for pick-up at the Florence Events Center, the Siuslaw Public Library, the Florence Visitors Center, Sea Lion Caves, and many other central coast locations. Pick yours up today.
(Please note the following changes: Pinniped Parade has been moved to the interior entry of the Hotel at Three Rivers Casino. And Heceta Takes Flight is in the same location, on the parking island in front of the 380 Clinic at Peace Health,
however the 380 bldg is no longer the 'Walk-in Clinic'.)
