Opening Reception: Self Taught Black Artists in the American South
2024-01-26 17:00 - 18:30 | Mennello Museum of American Art, 900 E Princeton St, Orlando, FL, 32803, United States
Opening Reception: Self Taught Black Artists in the American South at the Mennello Museum of American Art
The Exhibition:
Self-Taught Black Artists in the American South – The exhibition Self-Taught Black Artists in the American South presents the work of 13 artists who painted and sculpted outside of the mainstream art world in the American South beginning in the 1970s. Often labeled as self-taught, the artists on display did not have institutionalized academic training and many lived in severe poverty, and have thus been marginalized from the dominant conversations on American Art. Yet, each has created works of art that widely contribute to a holistic understanding of class, race, expression, and creativity in the United States today.
JANUARY 26, 2024 – MAY 12, 2024
Self-Taught Black Artists in the American South is organized by the Mennello Museum of American Art and curated by Katherine Page, Curator Art and Education.
Mennello Museum of American Art and its exhibitions are generously supported by the City of Orlando and Friends of the Mennello Museum of American Art. Additional funding is provided by the Frank Holt Fund, Orange County Government through the Arts & Cultural Affairs Program, and United Arts of Central Florida. Sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture.

Neon Night on April 12 at the Morse Museum Featuring Orange Court Motor Lodge Sign
2024-04-12 18:00 - 21:00 | The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, 445 North Park Avenue, Winter Park, FL, 32789, United States
Neon Night on April 12 at the Morse Museum Featuring Orange Court Motor Lodge Sign
On Friday, April 12, The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art presents Neon Night, a one-night-only experience featuring the Orange Court Motor Lodge neon sign from the Museum’s collection illuminated in public for the first time in over thirty years.
The free event begins at 6 p.m. with a “Color & Light” tour of the Morse galleries (available on a first-come, first-served basis). At 7 p.m., enjoy the lighting of this piece of architectural history outside of the Museum. The sign remains lighted until 9 p.m. The lightning delay date is Friday, April 19.
About The Event
The evening’s featured sign has a rich history in Orlando. The Orange Court Motor Lodge first opened as the Orange Court Hotel in 1924. With stylish interiors and the city’s first indoor swimming pool, the hotel was a popular resort destination for celebrities and Orlando locals alike. The hotel changed ownership in the 1960s and was renamed the Orange Court Motor Lodge. It was also outfitted with a new neon sign featuring 115 incandescent bulbs and weighing close to 1,000 pounds. When the Orange Court Motor Lodge closed in 1990, Hugh F. McKean (1908–95), the Morse Museum’s first Director, stepped forward to save the sign from demolition.
About The Morse Museum
The Morse Museum is home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933). The Museum’s holdings also include American art pottery, late 19th- and early 20th-century American paintings, graphics, and history of design objects.

About Apopka, FL
Apopka is a city in Orange County, Florida. The city’s population was 55,000 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford Metropolitan Statistical Area. Apopka comes from the Seminole word Ahapopka for “potato-eating place”.
Through the 1940s, Lake Apopka was one of Central Florida’s main attractions. Anglers traveled from throughout the United States to fish for trophy-sized bass in Lake Apopka, and 21 fish camps lined the lake’s shoreline.[2]
Lake Apopka has a history of more than 100 years of human alteration, beginning with construction of the Apopka-Beauclair Canal in 1888. In 1941, a levee was built along the north shore to drain 20,000 acres (80 km2) of shallow marsh for farming. The discharge of water, rich in nutrients from agricultural and other sources, produced conditions that created a chronic algal bloom and resulted in loss of the lake’s recreational value and game fish populations.

Pressed Floral Art Workshop at The House on Lang

Pressed Floral Art Workshop at The House on Lang
Come to the Pressed Floral Art Workshop at The House on Lang! Create a kaleidoscope of colorful botanicals in a floating frame using pressed florals with designer Pamela Johancsik of Bomb Blooms.
In this workshop, Bomb Blooms teaches the foundations of flower and leaf pressing to capture beautifully dried botanicals.
Pamela shares her tips for creating finished works of art with bundled composition and style, set inside a floating glass frame you can either hang on a wall, window or even display on a shelf or mantle. Flower pressing is an age-old art that at its heart can become a memory-keeping craft to time capsule important events such as engagements, anniversaries, weddings, baby showers and even funerals.
With your new acquired skill, you can preserve florals from an abundant garden harvest or press leaves after a day frolicking through a beautiful meadow of bountiful wildflowers.
Pressed florals make lovely, framed art or special gifts for family and friends.
We are so excited to have you join us for this project as we dive into the art of flower and leaf pressing.
Workshop includes:
-Pressed florals of choice
-Hanging Pressed Glass Floating Frame
-Demonstration & Instruction
-Glue to secure florals
-Complimentary Sangria or Sparkling water courtesy of House on Lang
We are excited for you to join us at The House on Lang.

Opening Reception
September 13 from 6-9 PM
Casselberry Arts Center
137 Quail Pond Circle
Join us for the opening reception of Liminal Space at the Casselberry Arts Center on Friday, September 13 from 6-9 PM.
Artists Anthony Mancuso and Bobby Aiosa are interested in portraying, the complexities of our built environment and how these designed spaces, public and private, impact our daily lives.
Both artists are interested in exploring the activity within the threshold of domestic and public lives and how one can influence the other.
Anthony Mancuso’s paintings focus on visualizing the psychology of everyday domestic scenes of co-habitation through the lens of multiple points of view, askew perspective, and saturated colors.
By conflating historical design movements and architectural motifs with familial and organic objects, Bobby Aiosa’s sculptural architectural fragmentations reflect on the past lives that once occupied these spaces, and how constant urban redevelopment can bring these once concealed histories to the surface.
Both artists utilize the influence of structural form, organic shape, and hue as a tool to convey an underlying consequence behind the imagery and objects presented. Behind the colorful façade of our designed spaces there are more complex stories beyond what the passive viewer may discern within our everyday environments.
The evening will include light refreshments and great music. Lake Concord Park will also host a Food Truck event and two additional openings at the Art House and the Sculpture House during this event so bring your friends and family to enjoy all the offerings in Casselberry.
All events are subject to change and/or cancellation. For more information, please call (407) 262-7700, Ext. 1122

Fernando Molinares-Dreams of the Alligator Man FREE ARTIST RECEPTION
2024-09-14 14:00 - 17:00 | Osceola Arts, 2411 E Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, Kissimmee, FL, 34744, United States
Coming to Osceola Arts in the Studio Gallery- SUEÑOS DEL HOMBRE CAIMÁN-Dreams of the Alligator Man works by Orlando artist Fernando Molinares IG@mrmonk90 on display from September 3 through October 25.
A free and open to the public artist reception will be held in the Studio Gallery on Saturday, September 14 from 2pm to 5pm.
The legend of the Caimán-man, a hybrid of human and caiman, embodies the spirit of Colombian folklore. According to the tale, this creature flees from his homeland, it reaches the Atlantic Ocean near Barranquilla, Colombia, at Bocas de Ceniza, where the Magdalena River merges with the Caribbean Sea. There, he encounters persecution from fishermen intrigued and frightened by his unusual appearance. “Hombre Caimán” (Alligator-Man) has become a customary label for any man born and raised on Colombia’s north coast.
Fernando Molinares, hailing from Barranquilla, shares a kinship with the iconic Caimán-man. In many ways, he too is a hybrid. This sense of hybridity is not unique to him; everyone experiences moments of feeling strange or different, especially in environments where they are not part of the majority. Through his art, Molinares delves into his emotional connections with the Caimán-man, portraying these sentiments through dream-like images filled with symbolism and elements of magical realism. His work reflects the universal experience of being a “strange creature in a strange land,” evoking the deeply human feeling of being different.
Fernando Molinares emigrated to the United States in 2000 and worked as a portrait artist at Disney World theme parks. During this time, he completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Central Florida (UCF), and years later, while working as a lead artist for Universal Orlando, he obtained his Master of Fine Arts from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Fernando has participated in numerous collective and solo exhibitions in Orlando and abroad. He continues working for the Disney Company as a Figure and Show Finisher Artist, an adjunct professor of Arts and Humanities at Ana G. Mendez University, and a part-time Faculty Art professor at Valencia College in Orlando.
Works by Fernando Molinares will be displayed in the Studio Gallery from September 3 through October 25 with a free artist reception on Saturday, September 14 from 3pm to 5pm. For more information contact marilyn@osceolaarts.org
