Lakeland is known as the City of the Swans. In 2002 an organization named
Swansation commissioned over 100 Florida artists to design and decorate 62
fiberglass swans for various "swansors" to be displayed throughout Lakeland.
After being on exhibit through April 2003, the swans were sold at “The Swan
Song” auction which was held at the Lake Mirror Center. The net proceeds
benefited Explorations V Children’s Museum and other local non-profit
organizations. Each swan has a plaque listing the swan’s name, the Swansor, and
the artist.
