About.

Our theme for our first ever inaugural FORD-ify the Arts on Saturday, January 11, 2020 is CELEBRATE. The event will be an inspiring attribute to the arts, Ford Kiene, and the beautiful new home of the Downtown Arts District in the iconic and historic Rogers Kiene building. Guests will be surprised and delighted with live performances by Orlando’s finest artists, musicians, gourmet food, and spirits served throughout the evening. Guests will enjoy the CELEBRATE exhibition, specifically curated for FORD-ify THE ARTS by board member, Flynn Dobbs. The following artists have been invited to participate: Stacy Barter, Kathleen Brodeur, Edson Campos, Matthew Cornell, Donna Dowless, Peterson Guerrier, Jim Hobart, Monte Olinger, Yuri Mairov, Una Paris, and Don Sondag.

Why.

FORD-ify the Arts is a fundraising event organized with the intentions of raising capital to construct a courtyard on the north side space adjacent to the Rogers Kiene Building. The vision is to create a beautiful public space in the heart of Downtown Orlando, which complements the iconic Rogers Kiene Building, Orlando’s oldest commercial structure, built in 1886. This space will be used for diverse, inclusive, and creative arts engagement, as well as private gallery related and specialty events. Interstruct, Inc. created the initial concept and design of the courtyard (image located below).

Individual ticket: $125
