The exhibition highlights both resident artists and local creatives connected through FAVO’s popular open studio events, reflecting the diversity and collaborative spirit shaping Orlando’s arts scene today.
Featured artists include: John Baker, Will Benton, Denisse Berlingeri, Patricia Byron, Valerie Capuzzi, Rona Castiglione, Mirjana Cesar, Marsha De Broske, Marion Fague-Bass, Alice Fortunato, Cathy Gatti, Chris Gray, Geoff Gregory, Jim Hobart, Robin Johnson, Diane Martens, Thom Meaders, Richard Munster, Bethany Myers, Bob Smedley, Mark Snedeker, Bonnie Sprung, Chuck Stecker, Kathryn Stecker, Vicki Taylor, Holly Tharp, Byron Walker, and Scott White.
Admission to the exhibition is free, making it an accessible and enriching cultural experience for all.
