🎨 Help Shape the Future of Public Art in Clearwater! 🌸

The Clearwater Arts Alliance is gathering community input on two exciting public art initiatives—and we would love to hear from you.

First, share your thoughts on the Clearwater Sculpture Series. Have you seen the sculptures along Cleveland Street? Tell us what you think about the current installation and help guide the future of this downtown public art program.

Take the Sculpture Series survey:

Next, help us explore a new public art project inspired by Clearwater’s history. We are considering a citywide initiative celebrating the gladiola flower, once an important part of Clearwater’s agricultural identity. Let us know if you would be interested in a gladiola artwork on your building.

Take the Clearwater Gladiola Project survey:

Each survey takes only a few minutes, and your feedback will help us continue creating meaningful public art experiences throughout Clearwater. Please share this post and encourage others to participate!
