Florence Public Art Quest

Mother and Children completing quest

The City of Florence Public Art Committee (PAC) has partnered with local volunteers and Oregon Coast Quests to create a Florence Public Art Quest, a self-guided educational experience of art, local culture, and architecture in Old Town Florence. 

Oregon Coast Quests is a program through the Sea Grant program of the Oregon State University Extension program. Quests are fun, free-choice learning adventures that use clues and hints to encourage participants to discover the natural, cultural, and historical treasures of place and community. Suitable for all ages, self-guided quests allow lifelong learners to explore outdoor spaces in a new way and at their own pace. At the end of each interpretive Quest, participants find a hidden box containing a logbook to sign and a hand-carved stamp to mark their accomplishment.

The Public Art Quest is accessible to all ages, education levels, and abilities! It is the only quest on the Oregon Coast that is 100% wheelchair accessible. 

To complete the Public Art Quest, participants can pick up a physical copy of the quest at these local places:

  • Florence Events Center (715 Quince Street)
  • Florence Area Chamber of Commerce (290 Highway 101)
  • BeauxArts Fine Arts Materials (2285 Highway 101 Suite H)

  • Siuslaw Public Library (1460 9th Street)
  • Books 'n' Bears (1255 Bay Street)
