SUMMARY:Orlando Story Club: Gotcha!
DESCRIPTION:Orlando Story Club is a live storytelling competition that takes place at CityArts Orlando (39 S Magnolia Ave). All regular shows begin at 7:00 p.m.\, doors open at 6:30 p.m.\n\nEvery Orlando Story Club event has a theme. Anyone with a story that fits with that theme can enter by putting their name in the story hat. Ten names are drawn at random. Each storyteller is given 5 minutes to impress the audience\, and the top 3 tellers take home prizes.\n\nIt’s a night of laughter\, fun\, and connection! Join us for our not-so-serious storytelling competition! Come laugh\, listen\, drink\, and help build our community!\n\nPurchase tickets at https://osc2026.eventbrite.com\n\nUpcoming Events:All regular shows start at 7:00 p.m.April 1: Gotcha!June 3: Over The RainbowAugust 5: SaltyOctober 7: HarvestDecember 2: All That Glitters\n\nIf you aren’t interested in telling a story\, we love story listeners! We have an activity that everyone can participate in. What’s a one-liner?\n\nIt is an anonymous story (true to the storyteller) that can fit on one notecard and relates to the theme of the evening.\n\nFor example\, if the theme is “Past Our Bedtime\,” a one-liner is: “I truly thought there were monsters under my bed until I was in high school.”\n\nWho reads these one-liners? Our awesome hosts\, Danielle and Bobby\, read them in between storytellers. Don’t worry. They won’t reveal your name!\n\nAll regular productions are hosted by Danielle Ziss & Bobby Wesley\n\nOrlando Story Club is a program of The Downtown Arts District

SUMMARY:Mind\, Body and Color: Orlando Health Arts in Medicine Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Mind\, Body and Color\n\nFor 30 years\, artists have connected with Orlando Health cancer patients through the Arts in Medicine program. Whether writing\, dancing\, or painting\, patients take their minds off treatment and focus simply on creating. For many\, this reconnects them with who they are—not simply a patient\, but a person.\n\nSince 2013\, the Arts in Medicine program has hosted an annual exhibition at City Arts Gallery\, celebrating the creative works of patients at the Orlando Health Cancer Institute.\n\nThis year’s theme\, “Mind\, Body and Color” celebrates how creativity provides a wholistic approach to wellness. Each piece offers a glimpse into how patients use art to transform their personal challenges into expressions of wholeness\, vitality\, and the world they aspire to see.\n\nFrom May 21 through June 13\, this inspiring exhibition will feature over 50 works created by cancer patients and their loved ones. Join us at City Arts Gallery to experience the healing power of creativity and honor those on their journey to wellness.\n

SUMMARY:Opening in the Side Gallery: Solo Exhibition by Brian Strigel
DESCRIPTION:“Everything’s Connected: \nConnecting the Dots\nLife is full of dots waiting to be connected.\nNothing exists alone.\nEverything connects. \nThese paintings begin like connecting the dots—small shapes coming together to form something larger. As they link\, patterns appear: cells\, systems\, life. \nInspired by science but guided by color\, the work shows how simple parts become something complex and alive. The connections are visible.” \nOn view in the Side Gallery at CityArts (39 S. Magnolia Avenue) May 21\, 2026 – June 13\, 2026

SUMMARY:Continuum: A Gathering in Practice brings together current students and alumni of Osceola County School for the Arts at CityArts Orlando
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Patricia Calderon\, Continuum: A Gathering in Practice brings together current students and alumni of Osceola County School for the Arts at CityArts Orlando. \nAs a founding member of OCSA’s Visual Arts program\, established in 2003\, Calderon has worked across generations of artists whose practices continue to evolve beyond the institution. This exhibition extends that long arc into a shared public context\, convening artists without collapsing their distinct trajectories. \nSeveral alumni featured in this exhibition are actively practicing artists whose work continues to evolve through sustained creative practice\, exhibition\, and independent inquiry.They are presented not as outcomes of a program\, but as artists in their own right\, whose practices continue to develop over time. \nAt its core\, Continuum considers practice as an ongoing\, never-ending process. Creation is not presented as a fixed destination\, but as a process of continuous becoming\, where each iteration informs the next\, and every act of making exists within a larger\, unfolding progression. Across media and subject\, the works resist a singular narrative\, inviting viewers to reflect on creativity not as one final outcome\, but as a living continuum of inquiry\, transformation\, and possibility. \nContinuum: A Gathering in Practice offers a space where artists meet across time\, not as before and after\, but within an ongoing field of practice. \nPOSTER DESIGNER  \nMelody “Mel” Capielo is a 2007 alumna of Osceola County School of the Arts and a Creative Director with more than 15 years of experience spanning hospitality\, food and beverage\, local government\, medtech\, and academia. Her passion for graphic design began in the halls of OCSA in 2003\, working alongside Mrs. Calderon and the school’s small but mighty yearbook staff\, where she first discovered the power of visual storytelling and creative collaboration.\n\nAfter spending four years on the yearbook staff\, Mel set an ambitious early goal: to one day see her name featured in a magazine’s masthead. It was a goal she accomplished within her first year of college\, thanks in part to the strong design fundamentals she developed at OCSA\, which helped her land her first professional design role. She later earned a BFA in Graphic Design from Miami International University of Art & Design in 2010.\n\nSince then\, Mel has built a career developing brand identities\, immersive experiences\, and strategic visual communications across print and digital platforms\, working with both startups and large organizations. Her approach combines concept development\, art direction\, and thoughtful design strategy\, grounded in the same curiosity and creative discipline first sparked during her time at OCSA. Now based in Denver after relocating from Miami\, she continues to bring creativity\, leadership\, and gratitude for the place where her design journey began.

SUMMARY:"State Flower Ladies" Exhibition by June Bunch Opens in the CityArts Café on June 18\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:For State Flower Ladies\, June Bunch transforms 50 state flowers into botanical ballerinas. Her illustrations combine figure drawing with floral theatrics\, adding elements of vibrant colors and texture-rich embroidery to her work. In an instant\, her images stretch the viewer’s eye past the present to see the blossom’s full-seasonal vitality\, summarized in one frozen motion.\n\nBunch curates contemporary illustrations by studying plants’ “choreography” of growth\, illuminating their dance with vibrant colors and clean lines. Her visual art remains rooted in botany and ballet\, featuring postures that hold emotional richness\, highlighting human nature and flora in a bold\, empowering way.\n\nThe art is created first through expressive figure drawings and botanical sketches that are then translated digitally and drawn line-by-line with a pen-tool\, tending to each marking with thoughtful detail.\n\nTo dive into the story behind each illustration\, you can visit https://www.junebunch.com/illustration\n\n\nAbout the artist:\n June Bunch (@junebunchstudio) is a self-taught illustrator from St. Petersburg\, FL. Her art focuses on natural growth\, interpreting plants’ movement through human body language. She studied botany and illustrated for plant nurseries before moving to Juneau\, AK  as a naturalist guide. There\, June grew inspired by the “choreography” of the natural world around her and humanized it\, incorporating figure drawing paired with a love of dance.\n\n\nHer work has won an honorable mention at the Morean Arts Center and has been on display at the Imagine Museum\, Dunedin Fine Arts Center\, Five Deuces Galleria\, Art@400\, The Werk Gallery\, and the Gulf Coast Arts Alliance Gallery. She has recently been awarded a micro-grant from the Gobioff Foundation which sponsored a portion of the State Flower Ladies exhibition.

SUMMARY:Today (It’s Not OK) A Special Exhibition by Parker Sketch at Side Gallery in CityArts
DESCRIPTION:Today (It’s Not OK)\nA Special Exhibition by Parker Sketch\nArt For All Spaces presents Today (It’s Not OK)\, a powerful and timely exhibition by Orlando-based artist Parker Sketch\, opening with a public reception on June 18th \, 2026\, in the Side Gallery at CityArts in downtown Orlando. The exhibition runs through July 11th \, 2026. \nRooted in painting and art historical awareness\, Today (It’s Not OK) reflects an emotional and political reckoning shaped by the turbulence of the present moment. The exhibition draws from abstraction and expressive mark-making while carrying a deeper conceptual weight—revealing works that appear visually inviting at first glance\, yet speak directly to contemporary realities of chaos\, oppression\, and uncertainty. \nAs novelist and cultural icon Toni Morrison stated:\n“All good art is political! There is none that isn’t. And the ones that try hard not to be political are political by saying\, ‘We love the status quo.’” \nThat philosophy resonates strongly throughout this exhibition. Reflecting on the work\, Parker Sketch shares: \n“The past year has been challenging. World news and politics are depressing. Recently I have been avoiding conceptual art and pop art because working on these styles doesn’t feel right for me in this moment in history. Most of my recent work has been abstract and expressive. While I was working on these pieces\, I found that even though I was trying to avoid it\, I was creating extremely personal and political work. At first glance\, these pieces seem like pleasant abstracts\, but they are speaking to today’s world of chaos and oppression.” \nAbout the Artist\nParker Sketch earned his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has built a multifaceted career grounded in painting\, art history\, and professional arts practice. His experience includes working in galleries\, frame shops\, museums\, and fine-art fashion studios\, where he has served as an artist\, designer\, and project manager. \nNow based in Orlando\, Parker is a highly active figure in the local arts community. He exhibits regularly\, curates exhibitions\, and is a resident artist at FAVO\, where he regularly hosts a monthly critique group for local artists. His practice reflects both deep technical knowledge and a commitment to critical engagement through visual language. \nSponsors\nThis special exhibition is made possible with the generous support of Roberta Alfonso\, Baxter Systems\, Vicki Green\, and others\, whose commitment to the arts helps bring important and challenging conversations into public view.
