PlaceMaker Soiree event raises $14K for public art projects
The Downtown Orlando Partnership’s Avrio Foundation (Website) hosted a special PlaceMaker Soiree event last week to raise money to fund a series of public art projects in Orlando’s Central Business District and succeeded in bringing in $13, 516.
The funds will be used to create seven projects in the Foundation’s downtown coverage area, one of which will be in Thornton Park.
The best part is that each participating artist will be curated by me!
The current timeline for these projects is now through October 2019 so keep your eyes peeled for all of these awesome selfie opportunities as they are installed around Downtown Orlando.
