Dancing with Sea Lions
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.
Wish You Were Here
Location: Private Collection
Wish You Were Here is a creation by artist Marsha Horner. Wish is writing postcards to tell her family and friends that she moved to La Jolla, California to live with her new owner Roxann Grant, who thinks that Florence is the best place to visit!
She used to be found dancing outside of the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce Visitor's Center at 290 Highway 101, where she was sponsored by the Sea Lion Caves.
