Who created this exhibition?
FunHundred! was created as the centerpiece of the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce's Centennial Celebration. The creative concepts were developed and overseen by AOA, a themed-entertainment production company headquartered in Winter Park.
The materials and elements were donated and created by volunteers from local schools, businesses and community organizations. The Winter Park Chamber of Commerce hosted Gather & Grow Day on Saturday, January 21 where almost 400 volunteers came to Mead Botanical Garden to paint, assemble and prepare the garden for the exhibition. The photo album of Gather & Grow Day can be found here.
The animal sculptures in the Garden of Discovery were created by local schools. The mirrors in the Garden of Prosperity were collected by Leadership Winter Park. The books in the Garden of Knowledge were donated by the Winter Park Library and the community.
What will happen to the materials following the close of the exhibition?
The elements of the exhibition will be assessed at the exhibition's close. Some elements will be relocated to the schools and businesses that created them and others may become a permanent installation or recycled depending on the condition of each element.
