Now showing in the Austin Commercial Gallery & CityArts Café: “Mind, Body, and Color” Orlando Health Arts in Medicine Exhibition

For 30 years, artists have connected with Orlando Health cancer patients through the Arts in Medicine program. Whether writing, dancing, or painting, patients take their minds off treatment and focus simply on creating. For many, this reconnects them with who they are—not simply a patient, but a person.

Since 2013, the Arts in Medicine program has hosted an annual exhibition at CityArts Gallery, celebrating the creative works of patients at the Orlando Health Cancer Institute.

This year’s theme, "Mind, Body, and Color" celebrates how creativity provides a wholistic approach to wellness. Each piece offers a glimpse into how patients use art to transform their personal challenges into expressions of wholeness, vitality, and the world they aspire to see.

From May 21 through June 13, this inspiring exhibition will feature artwork created over the past year by cancer patients and their loved ones. Join us to experience the healing power of creativity and honor those on their journey to wellness.

On view until June 13th at 6 PM.

Now showing in the Signature Gallery: “Continuum: A Gathering in Practice”

Curated by Patricia Calderon, Continuum: A Gathering in Practice brings together current students and alumni of Osceola County School for the Arts at CityArts Orlando.

As a founding member of OCSA’s Visual Arts program, established in 2003, Calderon has worked across generations of artists whose practices continue to evolve beyond the institution. This exhibition extends that long arc into a shared public context, convening artists without collapsing their distinct trajectories.

Several alumni featured in this exhibition are actively practicing artists whose work continues to evolve through sustained creative practice, exhibition, and independent inquiry.They are presented not as outcomes of a program, but as artists in their own right, whose practices continue to develop over time.

At its core, Continuum considers practice as an ongoing, never-ending process. Creation is not presented as a fixed destination, but as a process of continuous becoming, where each iteration informs the next, and every act of making exists within a larger, unfolding progression. Across media and subject, the works resist a singular narrative, inviting viewers to reflect on creativity not as one final outcome, but as a living continuum of inquiry, transformation, and possibility.

Continuum: A Gathering in Practice offers a
space where artists meet across time, not as before and after, but within an ongoing field of practice.

On view until June 13th at 6 PM.
