Four local artists created beautiful artwork on behalf of the Bridge of Flowers last season:
- Photographer Michael Naldrett donated the original artwork for the 2010 Friends of the Bridge decal.
- Portrait artist Jo-Anne Sherburne of JH Sherburne Fine Art created an original piece of signage and donated for the Buckland side.
- Jane Wegscheider of The Art Garden donated her work for a sign on the Shelburne side.
- Artist-blacksmith Bob Compton of Rising Sun Forge made a new sign-in desk for the Shelburne side.

In 1929, the Bridge's operating budget was $1,000. Today's budget is well over that amount and depends upon donations, memorial gifts and bequests.
