Some of you were thinking “lunch” – don’t deny it! Others of you were thinking “recess” when you got to play kickball with your friends. Maybe you had fond memories of art class and the endless possibilities a blank piece of paper and a box of crayons or palette of paint offered you. Several of you thought about a performing arts class, like choir, band or theater, where together with your friends you shared your talents with others to create something beautiful.

So, why did you stop?

Lake Nona Arts believes this kind of fun isn’t only for school-age kids. The community schools offer wonderful programs for the students, and our organization is here for those who graduated – recently or many years ago! We eagerly promote and nurture participation in the arts by adults (18+) in our community. Our choir is weeks into our fourth season, with some big concerts coming soon. Our orchestra just kicked off our third season with the first rehearsal on March 2.  The newest Lake Nona Arts endeavor, an improv troupe, completed its first very successful season, culminating in a friends and family show on Feb. 28. There are other artistic endeavors being discussed, including a film club and a photography club. We are also interested in arts that are usually done by oneself, like writing and painting, where we might plan low-key social gatherings where like-minded creators can share their creative journeys.

What creative yearning do you have and how can we help you express the art inside you? 

We would love to have you join one of our ongoing community arts groups or reach out to connect with us to attend a concert or suggest an idea to expand the arts community in our area!
