This March, the Avalon Park Arts & Culture Center invites you to experience art that moves, inspires, and gives back. Our Call for Conservation exhibit — celebrating landscapes, nature, and wildlife — is open now through the end of the month, and it is absolutely worth a visit.
This year’s exhibit is especially exciting as we welcome back OUC and their Rain Barrel Painting Project for the 4th consecutive year. Local students have poured their creativity into hand-painted 55-gallon rain barrels that bring environmental awareness to life in the most vibrant way. These pieces are bold, meaningful, and a true testament to the talent growing right here in our community. We are proud to display 3 barrels from Discovery Middle School and Timber Creek High School.
We are more than thrilled to report that Avalon Park’s very own Timber Creek High School won the Best City of Orlando/Orange County Themed category! More details about the project and this year’s winners are found here. We are also excited to welcome OUC as a sponsor of Avalon Park’s Absolutely Avalon multicultural festival on April 11th, 5-9 pm and these rainwater barrels will be open to view during the event and during regular gallery hours. See them from March 7th – April 13th.
Alongside the student work, local artists have filled our walls with stunning original pieces inspired by the natural world around us — from sweeping landscapes to intricate wildlife portraits. Every visit feels like a new discovery.
Want to be part of it? On Saturday, March 28th at 10 AM, join artist Monica Diaz for a hands-on painting workshop right here at the ACC. Learn to paint your own landscape scene and even submit your finished piece to the exhibit. Tickets are just $35 per person and include all supplies — no experience necessary, just a willingness to create.
The ACC is open Monday and Thursday 4-6pm and Saturdays 10-4pm. Come explore, get inspired, and see firsthand why art is the heart of Avalon Park.
