 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.
- The artistic director of the Orlando Ballet,
Robert Hill, 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, and American folk painter Grandma Moses.

movies and engaging live programming, Orlando Science Center is a place where
