Downtown Arts District

 

The Downtown Orlando Arts District (established in 2000) is a dedicated nonprofit organization for advancing arts and economic development in the City of Orlando. Through visibility campaigns and local outreach, the Arts District aims to lead, stimulate, and grow the development of a vibrant, innovative arts and cultural district in Downtown.

The Arts District is the producer of a series of mission-based events to heighten visibility for the arts including the monthly 3rd Thursday Gallery Hop, Young Artists Galleryp, Dia de los Muertos & Monster Factory, In the Artist’s Studio, and La Maschera, an annual themed arts celebration. In addition, the Arts District is the parent company to CityArts Orlando.

 

From vibrant and ornate to intimate and serene, works are displayed throughout CityArts to delight, inspire, and allow the viewer to experience them in a way that a museum never could. CityArts is managed by the Downtown Arts District, it is a collective of community art galleries, a café, and an apartment for artists in residenceies. CityArts is open free of charge Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is located at 39 South Magnolia Avenue.
