City Of Orlando Public Arts

Public art is artwork placed in highly trafficked areas for public viewing.  Large-scale sculptures, exhibition spaces, and site-integrated aesthetic works are all examples of public art.  Concentrating on downtown plazas, city parks, neighborhood community centers, and municipal buildings, the Public Art Program strives to place artwork in highly visible locations and choose artwork that reflects the character of that community. 


The Public Art department oversees three galleries where rotating exhibits can be viewed; two of these galleries are located downtown in City Hall.

The Terrace Gallery, open since the dedication of City Hall in 1992, features national and international artists and collections, as well as Florida artists of renown.  Movable freestanding walls offer versatility in an attractive 2,000 square foot space that is able to accommodate a number of unique exhibitions.  The Terrace Gallery reflects the City's dedication to the arts and it provides a space where visual artists can share their insight with the community.

 

The Mayor's 2nd and 3rd Floor Gallery is specifically dedicated to Central Florida artists.  This beautiful circular gallery space on the 3rd floor of City Hall also encompasses the 2nd floor landing and extends down two long hallways.  Each gallery at City Hall has ongoing exhibits throughout the year, with each artist or collection on display for approximately three months.
