Arts & Culture Overview

About

The Orange County Arts & Cultural Affairs Office works with its Advisory Council to recommend how Orange County’s funds should be invested to elevate the status of arts and culture in Central Florida. Find more information on the Advisory Council page.

  • Exhibitions: Free exhibitions of fine art are organized by Arts & Cultural Affairs for the Art in the Chambers and the Sculptures on the Lawn programs.
  • Funding: Arts & Cultural Affairs contracts with United Arts of Central Florida to administer several funding programs.
  • Public Art: The calls for Public Art Commissions are administered by Arts & Cultural Affairs as well as promoting awareness for our local public art projects.
  • Arts & Culture Calendar: Find listings for art events and organizations partially funded by Orange County.
  • FusionFest: Organizes annual celebration of diversity and the year-round participation of the FusionFest Flag Crew in area events.
  • Cultural Facilities Map: Find arts organizations throughout Orange County.
