Art House Foundation reports increased reach, proposes ‘wings trail’ to boost tourism
Summary
Art House Foundation director Cameron Vincent reported strong 2025 program metrics—about 18,204 gallery attendees, 3,922 children enrolled in classes, and net revenue recovery—and proposed a themed public‑art trail of ‘wings’ across City Center to encourage visitation.
Cameron Vincent, executive director of the Art House Foundation, presented the organization's 2025 annual report to the Port Orange City Council, reporting increased participation and modest net revenue. Vincent said Art House estimates 18,204 gallery attendees in 2025 (valued at $182,040 in free admission) and 3,922 Port Orange children enrolled in classes and camps; net revenue for the year was $16,041.94.
Vincent described partnerships with the Port Orange Police Athletic League and Volusia County Schools, outreach to special‑needs adults, and an expanded role curating a student photography exhibition at the Ocean Center that attracted large visitation. He proposed creating an interactive ‘‘wings trail’’—a city‑centered public‑art trail with themed wings at library, rec center and Art House sites—to promote tourism and family engagement. Council members praised Art House’s work and invited staff to discuss operational details for any proposed public‑arts trail.
