Join us for the opening night of the 2nd Art-ivism Exhibition! Located on the 2nd floor of the CityArts Gallery. Art-ivism explores the merging of art and advocacy towards a cause or topic that resonates deeply. Individuals have been empowered to amplify their voices and creativity as a means for social change within their communities for decades, and it is just as important today. This show is intended to create space for that connection, conversation, and learning. The exhibition will showcase original 2D and 3D artworks exploring topics of relevance…

The Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival is a 14-day immersive cultural experience held annually in mid-May, featuring 850 ticketed theatrical performances and a free outdoor music festival. Loch Haven Park serves as the main campus for the festival, though in recent years programming has expanded to venues in nearby Ivanhoe Village and Winter Park. The festival unites local, national, and international artists with the Central Florida community, creating a uniquely diverse arts experience.

As the longest-running Fringe theatre festival in the United States, Orlando Fringe is founded on being:

100% UNCENSORED; you never know what the artists will say or do. The artists have full control over their performance.

100% UNJURIED; performers are chosen at random by a lottery, providing equity among artists.

100% ACCESSIBLE; ticket prices range from FREE TO $12.We keep the price low so you can check out multiple shows.

100% INCLUSIVE, we are an environment where everyone is treated with love and kindness. We welcome anyone regardless of their age, gender, the color of your skin, religion, who you’re attracted to, or anything else.

100% OF ALL TICKET SALES are returned to the artists giving artists monetary resources to continue creating art.

ORLANDO FRINGE IS A SAFE SPACE. We are committed to striving towards a respectful, safer environment free from harassment, violence, discrimination, bullying, and abuse. Participation in activities or behaviors that discriminate on the grounds of race, gender, age, marital status, religious beliefs, citizenship, mental and physical abilities, or sexual orientation will not be tolerated.

All identities and bodies are encouraged to participate.

Art brings us together, and I couldn’t be more excited to join the incredible lineup of artists at IMMERSE 2025! 🎨🌟 This festival is a celebration of creativity, featuring immersive art, live performances, an art market, and so much more—all stretched across 10 blocks in Downtown Orlando. 📅 February 21-23, 2025 🎟 Tickets at immersefest.com Let’s create unforgettable memories together! 💛 IMMERSE is presented by AdventHealth! @immersefest @creativecityproject @adventhealthcfl

Surfside

This piece is a result of experimentation with alternative photography processes, specifically cyanotypes on different mediums. For Glass Plates and mirrors a gelatin emulsion is prepared with ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide to produce a solution that will bind to glass surfaces and be sensitive to UV light. Glass plates or broken mirror is coated with the emulsion and then exposed in sunlight using a negative processed from a digital photograph or composite and printed on transparent film. The full oxidation and vibrance of the classic Prussian blue takes as long as 24 hours to fully develop. The result using mirrors yields a unique 3D affect that is best experienced when viewed live. In my work, I like to align the process with the subject, I like to think the simplicity of sunlight and water are mirrored by a surfer's love for sunlight and water. 

College Park Gallery is pleased to announce “VISAGE,” opening on July 20, 6 - 8 p.m.

This theme invites artists to explore the lushness and vitality of the natural world. From detailed botanical illustrations to expansive landscapes, artworks can showcase the diversity and beauty of flora across different ecosystems. It’s a call to appreciate the Earth’s green spaces, both wild and cultivated, and to remind us of the importance of preserving these environments for future generations. Beyond its association with nature, green is a color deeply tied to emotions and states of being, symbolizing growth, harmony, and renewal. This theme explores the psychological and cultural significance of the color green, inviting artists to create works that evoke the feelings or moods associated with this hue. From serene to vibrant, each shade of green can tell a different story, offering a rich palette for creative expression.

A celebration of the art of architecture and other man-made structures, as seen through the eyes of Central Florida artists.

G Sharp

With movement the invisible action such as drawing focus or directing attention through motion is created by zooming the lens while the shutter is open. A steady pace extended through the 2.5 seconds exposure gives the dramatic feeling of being pulled or sucked into something.

G# major is a theoretical key; it contains a double-sharp and therefore would normally be notated as Ab Minor as they are the same pitches in the same order. Sounds and music are kinetic mechanical energy.

This piece is from my series C# Minor which explores the concepts of consonance and dissonance within music theory. Long exposure and movement of the camera aims to capture how music can direct attention, pull focus, and the calming or jarring effect of sounds to the mind. While “Rachmaninoff” celebrates the composer’s use of suspended harmony, all the pieces are meant to reflect the concept of dissonance, its demand to be resolved to consonance within music theory and the perceived emotion from music. Consonant chords are sounds that are usually found to be pleasant and stable whereas, in contrast, dissonant chords tend to be clashing and generally evoke tension. Though the perception of dissonance is more subjective and context-related, it is widely believed to be jarring due to the complex frequency ratio expressed in a chord. Music notes are expressed as frequencies and intervals are the distance between two musical notes. A simple interval ratio produces more perfect mathematical ratios understood to be consonant. These concepts have been shown to affect mood and most people recognize dissonance as ‘sad’ or ‘wrong’ and consonant as ‘happy’ sounds.

This art exhibition celebrates floral bouquets and fine wine. This might include a portrait of your garden, still life paintings of table settings, a beautiful bottle of wine, your favorite flower or beverage. We will also be including some abstract pieces and florals of all kinds.
