Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts
Arts & Culture
The Sophisticated Side of Orlando
Orlando is where imagination and creativity
intersect to create magical experiences for millions
of theme park visitors every year. That magic also
translates into a sophisticated and cultured side
that’s one of Orlando’s best-kept secrets – who
knew, right? An exploration of the city’s thriving
arts, history and culture scene is a must-do for any
inspiration seekers.
Art Galleries and Museums
Orlando has a vibrant arts community and there is
never a shortage of gallery viewings and tours. Even
if you’re by no means an art aficionado, you’ll
appreciate the diverse collection that Orlando
offers.
History and Culture
Orlando is a modern city with a rich history. Before
theme parks, attractions and hotels, it was a land of
Cornell Fine Arts Museum
cowboys, pastures, swamps and rolling hills
covered with citrus trees. Eatonville, the first
incorporated African-American township in the
United States, is where you can learn about Zora
Neale Hurston – the Harlem Renaissance author
and folklorist who spent her early years in Eatonville
and even wrote about it in Their Eyes Were
Watching God and Dust Tracks on the Road.
Live Theater Reaching New Heights
A bright light of Orlando’s creative arts is the local
theater scene. And that light shines even brighter
with the debut of the Dr. Phillips Center for the
Performing Arts. From show-stopping musicals and
laugh-out-loud improv comedy to dramatic dance
performances and masterful orchestra concerts,
an eclectic collection of theaters draws on the
extraordinary talent that brings imagination and
fantasy to life for all who visit Orlando.
