Apply named The City Beautiful, Orlando practically sparkles with green spaces and glistening waters. But it also boasts vibrant murals, dynamic outdoor art installations and galleries that give locals and visitors the opportunity to explore the visual artistry of its residents. On stages everywhere from small, independent theaters to the impressive Dr. Phillips Center, performances wow with dance, music, improv and theatrics of all kinds. In short, Orlando's arts and culture offerings abound, even in the summer months when most arts organizations might go on hiatus. We're excited to share the best of our city's artistic side in this NEW seasonal series highlighting the Orlando arts. We hope you enjoy it!
