This exhibition is an interactive, hands-on exploration into the history of Maitland and its surrounding areas! There were a lot of things that did not happen in Maitland. There were no great battles fought on the soil, nor was it home to any infamous individuals. The town was not the epicenter of any great social movements, nor was it home to discoveries that would better humankind. Maitland was, and continues to be, a small town, like so many others.The story of Maitland is a story of seemingly ordinary people who lived through extraordinary times, a place where people made their homes while dramatic events unfolded in other parts of the world. People labored here, raised their families, loved, lost, thought, and created. The objects in the museum's collection reflect the brightness of these lives against the backdrop of a changing and often troubled world.Each artifact tells a story specific to a place and time. They are the carriers of the memories of the people who owned them, who felt that they were important enough to their own story to preserve them. Many of them are the prototypes of the objects that we use and hold dear today, objects which will one day carry our own memories forward.Welcome to Maitland's Attic, a gathering place of the unique items that tell of Maitland's past. From the everyday to the downright weird, these objects and their stories open a window onto important moments throughout the history of the town, and the people who called it home.¡Esta exhibición es interactivo y de primera mano adentro de la historia de Maitland y las áreas cercanas! En Maitland no ocurrieron muchas cosas. En su suelo no se libraron grandes batallas, ni fue cuna deindividuos infames. No fue el epicentro de grandes movimientos sociales ni de descubrimientosrevolucionarios. La historia de Maitland es la historia de personas aparentemente corrientes que vivieron tiemposextraordinarios, un lugar donde la gente estableció su hogar mientras se desarrollaban acontecimientosdramáticos en otras partes del mundo. La gente trabajaba aquí, criaba a sus familias, amaba, perdía,pensaba y creaba. Los objetos de la colección del museo reflejan el brillo de estas vidas en el contextode un mundo cambiante y a menudo turbulento. Cada artefacto cuenta una historia específica de un lugar y una época. En conjunto, son portadores delos recuerdos de las personas que los poseyeron, que consideraron que eran lo bastante importantespara su historia como para conservarlos. Muchos de ellos son prototipos de los objetos que usamos yapreciamos hoy, objetos que un día serán portadores de nuestros propios recuerdos.Bienvenido a Maitland's Attic, un lugar donde se reúnen objetos únicos que hablan del pasado deMaitland. Desde los más cotidianos hasta los más extraños, estos objetos abren una ventana amomentos importantes de la historia de la ciudad y a las personas que decidieron llamarla su hogar.

About the Exhibition Mär Martinez, a Syrian American artist and Fulbright scholar, presents new work developed during her 2024–25 Fulbright research in Istanbul. Her project investigates traditional Turkish and Middle Eastern textile techniques while reflecting on themes of urbanization, surveillance, and cultural memory. Drawing from nighttime walks through Istanbul's neighborhoods, Martinez transforms architectural barriers, barbed wire, fences, and centuries old textile patterns, into motifs of both resistance and resilience. Her haunting paintings explore personal heritage, global textile history, and contemporary social commentary in poetic, layered form. The initial threads of this, her first solo museum exhibition, created in Istanbul and New York, began at the Art & History Museums of Maitland during her 2021–2023 Studio Artist Residency. This exhibition represents both a new artistic departure and an expanded exploration of the themes she began contemplating during her residency. Plan your visit >>

Join Us! Life Explorers Speaker Series: Keeping Momentum for The Florida Wildlife CorridorFlorida is home to one of the most ambitious conservation visions in the country: the Florida Wildlife Corridor, an 18-million-acre network of connected public and private lands stretching from the Everglades to the borders of Georgia and Alabama. This living network links ranches, forests, springs, wetlands, and working lands that sustain wildlife, protect water resources, and preserve Floridaâs natural heritage. For those who care about plants and cultivated landscapes, connectivity is not abstract but essential. Just as native flowers create pollinator pathways through gardens and neighborhoods, the Florida Wildlife Corridor links forests, wetlands, ranches, and public lands into a living network that allows species like the Florida panther and Florida black bear to move safely across the state. This connected system protects wildlife, safeguards drinking water, supports working lands, and sustains the natural heritage that defines Florida. How does the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation, whose mission is to champion a collaborative campaign to permanently protect, connect, and restore the Florida Wildlife Corridor, continue to keep the energy high and the focus on the prize amid a plethora of challenges and how can you be involved? Mason Gravley grew up right in the middle of the swamps, orange groves, and cattle ranches of Frostproof, Florida. His love of the outdoors budded through early hunting and fishing trips and has evolved into a love of paddling and exploring the most hidden waterways and camping spots of Floridaâs backcountry. After discovering a phenomenon called âelevationâ through extensive backpacking and bikepacking adventures in college and beyond, he settled down in the Sierra Nevada and Rocky mountains for nearly a decade before starting a family and returning back to Florida with a new perspective on landscape-scale conservation. Mason has a degree in general biology from Southeastern University in Florida and an MS in Marketing from Regis University in Denver and comes to the foundation from the startup world. He hosts the Florida Uncut podcast in his limited free time, and lives in the beautiful and quaint Florida coastal town of Palmetto with his high-school sweetheart and their three sons.

Mind, Body and ColorFor 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 City Arts 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 over 50 works created by cancer patients and their loved ones. Join us at City Arts Gallery to experience the healing power of creativity and honor those on their journey to wellness.

"Everything's Connected: Connecting the DotsLife is full of dots waiting to be connected.Nothing exists alone.Everything connects. These paintings begin like connecting the dots—small shapes coming together to form something larger. As they link, patterns appear: cells, systems, life. Inspired by science but guided by color, the work shows how simple parts become something complex and alive. The connections are visible." On view in the Side Gallery at CityArts (39 S.

Step behind the gates of the Maitland Art Center and into a world shaped by vision, imagination, and legacy.This one-hour guided tour takes you through the gardens and courtyards of a campus like no other—founded in the 1930s by American artist and architect J. André Smith as a haven for modern experimentation and creative freedom. Click here to reserve your tickets>>Experience the TourAs your guide leads you through the campus, you'll trace the story of Smith's life—from his childhood in Hong Kong to his service in World War I to the founding of the Maitland Art Center, which he called "Espero," a Spanish word for hope. These experiences—and his Episcopal faith—influenced the extraordinary design of the campus: a blend of Mayan Revival architecture with embedded Christian symbolism and East Asian motifs. The result is a surreal, immersive environment—at once spiritual, exotic, and modern—where over 2,500 carvings, sculptures, and reliefs adorn nearly every surface. Along the way, you'll learn about the community of artists who lived and worked here between the 1930s and 1950s—names like Milton Avery, Ralston Crawford, and Doris Lee—and how this hidden Florida enclave became one of the state's most forward-thinking creative centers.

This play is presented as part of UCF's Pegasus PlayLab. Imagine square dancing, but much better. That is an Irish Ceili (pronounced kaylee), a folk art in which an emcee calls out the names of dances and the crowd performs the partner work arm-in-arm, and solo moves in circles and sways. Within this framework of many Irish dances, including the titular Eight-Hand Jig, we learn the history of the O'Malley family, both in Chicago 2036, and in Dublin 1701. The play switches swiftly from movement to dialogue, and each physical number moves the plot forward as we see past and future collide. Mel O'Malley has three B-eautiful children: Brigid, Bree, and enby Brenda. Of Irish heritage, Mel is constantly straddling the worlds between the motherland and her daughters' childhood home in the U.S. When all four family members gather for Bree's baby shower in 2036, a heartbreaking secret is revealed. The family's experiences parallel that of their Irish ancestors, accused of witchcraft. These O'Malley women, separated by generations, have been subject to the same pain and injustices of womanhood. This play examines the nature of women's rights through the quirky lens of dance and the misfit O'Malley family.Playwright: MC Crosby | Director: David SterrittEach performance is followed by a talkback with the audience.

Step behind the gates of the Maitland Art Center and into a world shaped by vision, imagination, and legacy.This one-hour guided tour takes you through the gardens and courtyards of a campus like no other—founded in the 1930s by American artist and architect J. André Smith as a haven for modern experimentation and creative freedom. Click here to reserve your tickets>>Experience the TourAs your guide leads you through the campus, you'll trace the story of Smith's life—from his childhood in Hong Kong to his service in World War I to the founding of the Maitland Art Center, which he called "Espero," a Spanish word for hope. These experiences—and his Episcopal faith—influenced the extraordinary design of the campus: a blend of Mayan Revival architecture with embedded Christian symbolism and East Asian motifs. The result is a surreal, immersive environment—at once spiritual, exotic, and modern—where over 2,500 carvings, sculptures, and reliefs adorn nearly every surface. Along the way, you'll learn about the community of artists who lived and worked here between the 1930s and 1950s—names like Milton Avery, Ralston Crawford, and Doris Lee—and how this hidden Florida enclave became one of the state's most forward-thinking creative centers.

Instructor: Ryan Price Location: Cottage at Lake Lily Cost: $60 + $10 material fees. Materials fees must be paid in cash directly to the instructor, and are due on the day of the workshop. Participants will be using household items to learn how to make lithography prints. Each participant will receive a sheet of aluminum foil mounted to a wooden board and a Sharpie to draw images on. Once students have finalized their image, they will use Coca-Cola to "etch" the plate, rinse with water, dry, and apply canola oil, then buff it into the place. They can begin the inking to the plate, run it through the press, or create a rubbing with a wooden spoon. This workshop will provide participants with an idea of how the process of lithography works with a low-stakes and low-cost approach. Each person leaves with a new skill and a print. Open to all levels! Register Here!
