About Us

The concept for the In Plain Sight Wilton Manors art guide originated with Hunter Stephens, a Wilton Manors resident with a strong interest in art and design and promoting public art in his adopted home town. Hunter surveyed the entire City of Wilton Manors, mapping, cataloging and photographing significant artistic points of interest throughout the City.  He sought the advice of countless longtime residents, local business owners, local arts and historic organizations, and City officials to help refine ideas and give shape to the In Plain Sight art guide. 


Along the way, Hunter was introduced to Andrew Spina, a transplanted New York graphic designer, who shared his passion for creating an art guide that would introduce Wilton Manors residents and visitors alike to the wide range of public art often hidden in plain sight all around us. Andrew conceived the overall design of the map, its logo, branding and related print and digital materials, including our social media presence.


Special thanks go to Meghan Pearson, who provided invaluable insights and technical assistance during the map’s development, and to the City Manager’s office of the City of Wilton Manors for sponsoring hard-copy publication of the map.
