The Casselberry Arts Center opened in January of 2024. It is a 3,000 foot open space gallery that is used to stage exhibits of visual and digital arts, dance, music, theater, film, design, and multi-media. The beautiful space has floor to ceiling windows that let in natural light as well as a view of the gardens outside. The current exhibit is a presentation from the University of Central Florida, from the students in the UCF SVAD MFA program. The exhibit invited students "to think beyond their studio practice and outside their preconceived notions of an art exhibition in order to gain a new understanding of the limitations and successes of the exhibition form." I really enjoyed the creativity of the art works, especially the fawn and the painting of a bed with the sheet that comes out and on to the floor. Bravo to Casselberry for their support of the arts students of UCF. This exhibit will be on view until June 27th.

On the front of the home is an eye catching mosaic mural by artist Claire Lavin. Artists can apply for a grant offered by United Arts Central Florida which allows them to live and work in the home for 3 months. I was lucky to find the Sculpture House open at night as part of the 2nd Friday Food Truck event in Lake Concord Park. There is no admission and you are to able wander the house and check out the art when it is open. The current artist has filled all of the rooms with his canvas paintings of people and nature scenes. My favorite was a print of a dragon on fabric that was hanging in the carport. I love that the City of Casselberry is doing so much to support artists. This was such a cool discovery and well worth checking out when you visit Lake Concord Park.

The exhibit is divided into two "houses". A house remodeled into an art exhibit, and the modern house in the back for other art pieces. The first house has paintings and items on consignment.

We thought it would be smaller and only gave ourselves a little time to be there but the collection was huge! The Picasso set in particular was such a delight, it's so exciting to have the opportunity to see work from someone like him right here in Orlando! We planned to spend a half hour, and 2 hours later we were forcing ourselves to leave because there was still more to look at! The art expert was a delight and answered all our questions and more, really adding to the experience for us. The art expert was also the one who put together the written pieces throughout the exhibit explaining different themes and techniques in the Picasso set and they were all excellent; she had already answered so many of our questions that had arisen naturally from our viewing in the pieces; that's great curating! They were also having a warehouse sale which we are already making plans to try and return for, as well as their next exhibition which is a large set of all original paintings from the last living pupil of Picasso, which will at first be interspersed with some of the current Picasso pieces on display. While we were there they were actually painting the interior wall with a pattern inspired by the work of the coming exhibition, which was really cool to see some behind-the-scenes creative curating at work! I'm definitely adding this great spot to my list of Orlando galleries and museums to frequent. It's places like this that help Orlando become an artistic and cultural center on the world map!

The most prominent portrait I noticed upon walking in is that of our President Elect, Barack Obama. The painting was a standard size and happened to be on sale for $35 down from $49. Many other individuals are portrayed here and sometimes their picture looks as if it was created with colored pencils or oil pastels. Lucy & Desi, Jack Sparrow, and Jim Morrison were all figures I noticed but the selection was vast and I'm sure your favorite celebrity can also be found there. Most of the paintings were priced around $50 which is fairly reasonable. For a horizontal piece depicting the cast of Friends, expect to pay $250 but for the most part, everything was under $100. I'm not too sure why but in a small cove off of the main area there was a TV playing the movie Braveheart. There were two small tables for anyone wishing to sit too. It seemed like an odd addition to an art store but I suppose in the world of art anything goes.

I especially like the fries they serve here, with a battered style coating that keeps the outside crispy, but with a soft interior. The one thing I've noticed is that some of the seats are getting a little worn.

We grew up with a drive-in in our town and we loved it as kids, so we wanted to take our kids, this was their first drive-in movie experience and it didn't disappoint. Toy Story 5 was playing, they recommend showing up an hour early on their website, we arrived at 8pm and found a spot easily, but it's definitely a good idea to show up early because it was already packed with cars when we showed up. You also need a radio, preferably battery operated, so you can tune into the station (I believe it was 89.3) and listen to the movie - unless you want to leave your car running the entire time and use your car radio. We decided to sit in the back of my husband's truck, which was a vibe - just make sure you check the weather so you don't end up getting rained on and also recommend bringing some bug spray because there are lots of mosquitos that will pester you if you don't have something to keep them away.

We accidentally lined up incorrectly and got a whole lecture how to read the signs. After paying $6 each and being charged an automatic $10 food voucher, we parked. The ladies working the concession stand are so rude. There's a sign that basically says "don't line up if you don't know what you want." The popcorn had been popped earlier so it wasn't warm and way too salty. The soda was flat, and the mozzarella sticks were again, salty. Apple Pay doesn't work! Movie started at 8pm and it was still daylight outside. The screen was still dark that no one could actually see the movie until an hour later. The instructions were to turn off the lights and engine, but the people around us had their engines on so the exhaust kept flowing through the lot. I wish there was an attendant that enforced the rules. Overall, it's an experience but they need to do better. I guess this is what $22 gets us.
