Lorn and I had been to this venue for the Yelpie awards and decided to return as we were impressed with the artwork the first time we came. Third Thursdays is a free event each month and it displays the works of various artists. Also, if you park at the Plaza parking lot on Court Avenue just a few blocks away, your parking ticket is validated, and you only pay $4. We got there around 6:30pm and the place was already packed. We got a drink at the cafe and a shout out to Miles for being a fun server and a good conversationist. We then proceeded to see all the art displays from photography to paintings to ink drawings. The main floor is much roomier as the second floor was quite crowded and tight given the separate rooms for the displays. But we still enjoyed ourselves and got to see the work of Lorn's friend, Grace Garvey, as well as other artists. The second floor's main room was dedicated to "Black & White" artist renderings and many of the displays were quite intriguing. The main floor had some excellent concert photographs that exuded the energy and passion of the performers as well as the crowds. This is definitely a fun free event to attend in downtown Orlando.

What a wonderful art museum! We started out at city arts Café next-door, waiting for it to open…read more When it finally did, we were met by a wonderful woman that told us about the different displays in the building. We were then able to go on our own and visit the displays. Pictures were allowed, which was wonderful because I didn't want to forget some of them and they were great inspiration. They had a great selection of art, including art by teens and it is FREE so what a great value. We've decided we'd like to go every so often to keep up with the displays.

Snap! is such a wonderful local gem that everyone should know about! The owners, Patrick & Holly…read moreKahn, have brought something truly special to Orlando and they so work hard to bring this city some incredible photography exhibits. Some people might find this place tricky to find. Snap! is located on the first floor of the Camden Thornton Park Apartments. You actually enter through the leasing office for the apartment building, and the gallery is located just to the left as soon as you walk in. Their hours are 11am-6pm and they are closed on Sundays. Plenty of metered street parking is available in the surrounding area. Currently on view in the main gallery is the work of Martin Stranka (through Oct. 2, 2021) -- prepare to be fully immersed in all its beauty. As a lover of both florals and photography, Martin Stranka's exhibit truly speaks to my soul. The image of the car with the flowers pouring out of it... omg, I need it hanging in my house stat! There are two other smaller galleries located down the hall that feature some other local artists as well. You should definitely make an effort to check out one of their exhibition opening parties, which are free to attend. There's always great music, drinks, and a nice crowd of Orlandoans who love to support the local arts.

Came here before a show. This is our go to for that. We arrived early and we're seated immediately…read more The specials sounded amazing as always. We started with the bisque. We then ordered the Chicken fricasse and the filet. Both were fantastic. The chicken was like nothing I've ever had. It was crispy and flavorful. The service, we had Leo, was very good.

For those of you who don't want to assume, it is being literal. This is an evening full of nude art, music, body painting, and shows. This national art exhibit has been happening for the last 15 years which surprised me that there was no Yelp reviews on it yet for the Orlando area. I am a huge art enthusiast and love attending exhibits like these because they are never disappointing. This Venue, which use to be Haos on Church was very large, and had a wonderful selection of drinks, and even served food. Menu was small but all the options looked and smelt amazing. The portions are also small so recommend eating before arriving. Needless to say I fell in love with so many pieces of art, and naturally I bought something. Oh yes, most of the art is on sale. It all goes to an art charity which is used to promote art. Highly recommend attending for all art enthusiasts, and even if you're not really into art it's still a great time.

I had attended new night in Orlando a couple years going back 6 or 7 years ago. I decided to go…read morethis year having fairly high expectations thinking that this group of creative folks have come a long way and would be putting on a seriously entertaining event. I'm sorry to say I was deeply disappointed. There was some very nice art, price was double what it would likely be elsewhere. I imagine a percentage goes to the event. I felt bad for the artists. There was not a bit of live entertainment that was well done or creative, nothing I hadn't seen years ago. The $40 ticket was crazy based on what they presented or shall I say lacked to present. There was some art I would have bought if it was price realistically. I would not go back to the Orlando event again I might try St Pete. It was an underwhelming money maker for the production company, lackluster for the guests. If I were to guess I would say they can't get high quality performance because they're not wanting to pay the performers or performers don't want to be attached to an event that is not of their caliber.
