What if the place you’re supposed to call home is a place you’ve never truly known?  

Ambar Santiago makes her exhibition debut at CityArts’ SIDE Gallery with “Guatemala: My Place of Trees.” Through fluorescently powerful color and dense layers of overgrown plants, Santiago confronts the complicated experience of growing up in the United States while feeling separated from her Central American and Caribbean heritage.

 

 

This fall, Mills Gallery launches the third edition of the WINN-WIN Emerging Artists Exhibition, an ambitious four-month professional artist development program that has become one of Central Florida's most significant investments in emerging creative talent.

Opening this season, WINN-WIN presents new work by Camila Gonzalez, Greyson Hertzendorf, Rese Lazo, Angelina Palmisano, and Bethany Skena, five artists selected not simply because of where they are today, but because of where they are headed.

 

 


Art For All Spaces proudly presents Bookaholic, a captivating solo exhibition by Orlando artist H. Gorlitz Scott, opening during the CityArts Third Thursday celebration on Thursday, July 16, from 6-9pm in the Side Gallery at CityArts in downtown Orlando.

 

 

Mills Gallery is proud to present “I Am Tony Khawam: A Modern Identity,” the highly anticipated Orlando debut of Syrian American artist Tony Khawam. This solo exhibition explores the ever-evolving nature of identity, merging American pop culture and global icons with influences drawn from the Italian Renaissance, Middle Eastern artistic culture, and the ancient Mesopotamian world.

In “Everything Connects: Life is Full of Dots,” Artist Brian Strigel invites viewers into a world where art and science quietly collide.

Through intricate compositions built from spirals, dots, and layered patterns, Strigel creates works that feel both microscopic and cosmic. Like cells under a microscope or galaxies unfolding in deep space, his paintings draw the viewer into a meditative experience, encouraging stillness, curiosity, and a sense of scale that is both intimate and infinite.

Lump Gallery at Mills Gallery is excited to present OPPOSITES ATTRACT: A Duo Exhibition, featuring artists Genna Sweetnam and Liamel Cohen. The exhibition brings together two distinct painting practices that approach emotional experience from different directions.

Genna Sweetnam’s work explores subtle emotional states, the feelings that often live just beneath the surface.

    

Here’s the thing most Orlando advice gets wrong right out of the gate: it treats parks like they’re interchangeable. Like you just swap one logo for another and the day feels the same. It doesn’t. Not even close.

Each park pulls on a different emotional lever: immersion, adrenaline, or room to breathe. And in 2026, when crowds, heat, and fatigue are part of the deal whether anyone admits it or not, stacking similar experiences back-to-back is how trips can fall apart.


This February, Mills Gallery will host a powerful and emotionally charged exhibition titled "The Scream of Miroslav," featuring the work of Cuban artist Miroslav de la Torre Kozorez. Curated by acclaimed Cuban-American artist Rafael Hernández as part of his Grand Art Society initiative, this exhibition promises to shake audiences with its poignant narratives and bold visual storytelling.
