Galleries, exhibitions & local happenings — every issue, straight to your inbox.
It's our recurring bimonthly roundup of new and ongoing art exhibitions around Orlando — new shows, museum installations, and gallery openings organized into sections like Science & Kids, History & Cultures, Classic & Contemporary, Modern Art, and Also on the Radar. Each entry links out to the venue or exhibit page for hours, tickets, and details.
A new issue publishes roughly every two months, timed to when new exhibitions open around the Orlando area. Earlier issues stay online and are linked from the Back Issues section of each new one.
It varies by venue — some galleries and community spaces are free, while museums like the Orlando Science Center or the Orlando Museum of Art typically charge admission. Check the linked venue page for current pricing before you go.
Several are — anything listed under Science & Kids is generally family-friendly, and many history and cultural exhibits work well for older kids too. When in doubt, the venue's own page (linked from each entry) will note recommended ages.
Some venues require timed-entry tickets for special exhibitions, especially at busier museums, while smaller galleries are usually walk-in. Each entry links directly to the venue or ticketing page so you can check ahead.
