Florence Millner Arnold (aka “Flossie”) was a local hero of Fullerton culture. A founding board member of The Muck, this centennial year is the perfect time to showcase this local treasure. She was a music teacher for much of her career. In the 1950s, she started painting and became actively involved in the arts, a passion that would consume the rest of her life. Her list of cultural contributions to the city of Fullerton is staggering: She became president of the Orange County Art Association, was a member of the American-European Cultural Exchange, co-founder and chairman of the annual “Night in Fullerton” (which she started in 1966), a member of the City of Fullerton Cultural and Fine Arts Commission, chairman of the Bicentennial Committee for Art in Public Places for the city of Fullerton, and president of the CSUF Art Alliance. On her 85th birthday the city of Fullerton presented her with the “Key to Our Hearts.”
