The Benches of Avon is a public art exhibit to take place over a five-week period. This event will incorporate local artists pairing with local nonprofits and a bench sponsor to produce artistic, functional, benches to be on display as an amenity to guests during our busy summer season.

The Benches of Avon will accomplish several things throughout its run in the summer of 2019 including:

• Fostering an amenity for guests and locals
• Creating a lasting impact for nonprofits and local artists
• Achieves regional/national recognition and participation
• Maximizes promotional and marketing reach across many avenues
• Lays a foundation for a future Arts District
• Builds the Avon brand
• Delivers fresh content, and an enhanced experience
• Will drive visitors to the Town of Avon to experience the exhibit
• Will promote an atmosphere of vitality, fun and celebration
• Curates a sense of community and pride for our residents and guests

Exhibit will debut on June 13 2019, and remain on display at Avon’s Possibility Plaza through July 19.
