ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH, FL. — On May 23, 2019, the St. Augustine Beach Commission, Beautification Advisory / Tree Board, Public Works, St. Augustine Beach Art Studio and Gallery, and Art Galleries of St. Augustine (AGOSA) came together to place the first wave of “ART CANS!” for use in the community. The “ART CANS!” will be periodically placed in groups of 4 or 6 for use in The City, until all of the old cans have been replaced.
“ART CANS!” are old trash cans that have been “upcycled.” Instead of throwing these old cans away and purchasing new ones, AGOSA artists will design and paint them, thus saving money and the environment from unnecessary waste. These “ART CANS!” will enhance the curb appeal of the City, while maintaining a practical and cost-efficient use.
“We are looking forward to placing many more of these “ART CANS!” in the community to maintain our unique retro, beachy feel, along with promoting many other art sponsored events,” said Vice Mayor Margaret England. “We so appreciate our partnership with St. Augustine Art Studio and Gallery and AGOSA, and look forward to working with them on art focused events!”
Be sure to start looking on the sides to the road when driving along A1A in St. Augustine Beach, and see if you can spot them! You can also share a picture of your favorite one on Instagram and tag @CityOfSAB and @agosa_art_walk.
AGOSA is a non-profit organization that works to provide opportunities for professional local artists to show their work in places additional to their usual gallery locations. If you are interested in painting a can, or interested in joining AGOSA, please contact Laura O’Neal at lauraoneal811@gmail.com or Sylvia Gortz at thegallerygroup303@gmail.com.
