We’re living in a pivotal moment, and what we do today will shape our city’s future for generations to come.

Society has always been shaped by the small few who have vision. Even more so, those who are willing to invest in those visions.

We stand at a special point in our young city’s young life. We find ourselves in this foundational time. And we have the unique opportunity to shape what our city will become decades and even centuries into the future.

The investment of the House of Medici in the 15th century has shaped Florence’s creative heritage even to this day. And in the same way, we have a unique opportunity to plant seeds now that will set Orlando on a creative trajectory that will transform the world.

I want to invite you to join us as we work to “cultivate a thriving arts community in Central Florida” and “Elevate Orlando as a global hub for creativity and innovation.” Let’s embrace the vision of that future and work together to bring it to life!
