Art on the Green 2027 funding
Summary
The board picked three colorful sculptures — Golden Hour, The Shape of Drift and Human Nature — to rotate into Seven Oaks Park in January 2027 as part of a partnership with Orange County. A fourth piece, Common Form, was left out largely because its lack of color wouldn't stand out in the park.

Impact analysis
About $21,000 total for all three sculptures — transport, installation, removal and $5,000 artist stipends — which is cheaper than last year because pads and lighting are already in place.
Park visitors and Winter Park residents get fresh public art in an increasingly active park that hosts the farmers market.
Public art projects, including the Thousand Oaks Park sculpture, could lose funding if the amendment passes.
