Arts & Culture
Orlando's
arts community can best be described as "small, strong and
growing." Metro Orlando is the only region in the State
of Florida that is home to all three desciplines: symphony, opera
and ballet. The aggregate budget of all arts organizations is
$25 million annually.
The
quality
of
what
our
community receives
for this investment is extraordinarily high.
Some
local highlights include the following:
The
artistic director of the Orlando
Ballet, Bruce Marks, is internationally renowned
in ballet circles.
Orlando
is home to one of the top orchestras in
the state.
The Morse
Museum is internationally known for its
Tiffany Glass collection.
The City
of Orlando’s Public Arts division
curates three galleries, all of which are free to the
general public. Two of the galleries are located in
Orlando’s City Hall; the third is housed within
the historic Harry P. Leu Gardens Garden Home.
The Florida
Film Festival in Orlando has been ranked
among the top 10 festivals in the world by The
Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide, 2nd Edition.
The Zora
Neale Hurston Festival is an internationally
known celebration of the cultural contributions that
Africa-descended people have made to the United States
and to world culture.
The Orlando
Museum of Art boasts a renowned permanent
collection and has played host to many world-famous
traveling exhibits, including American glass artist
Dale Chihuly, China’s Ming Dynasty Collection,
