SUMMARY:Artist Talk: with Artist in Residence Mary Graham
DESCRIPTION:A&H invites lifetime learners like you to discuss fascinating topics anchored in Central Florida history\, arts\, and culture. This artist talk will be led by Artist in Residence Mary Graham.\n\n\nGrab your FREE tickets here >>\n  \n\n  \nFor more information about our current exhibition The Situated Body featuring unseen works by Jacobo Alonso: \nFrom soot on paper to felt\, The Situated Body\, an exhibition of the work of Mexican sculptor Jacobo Alonso\, redefines the classical depictions of the human form through contemporary materials. Alonso transforms traditional drawing and sculptural practices into expressive and tactile abstractions\, all referencing the configuration and movement of the human form. Inspired by both pre-Columbian traditions and the Art Center’s Mayan Revival architecture\, his work\, some created during his 2025 residency at A&H\, challenges assumptions about form\, identity\, and materiality. \nThis evening event is presented during our monthly Last Wednesday hours\, when we open our gallery free of charge with a cash bar from 5:30-8pm. Learn more here. \n\n  \nFunding for this program and all 2025-26 free programs at A&H are supported by a grant from Duke Energy Foundation.

SUMMARY:Stories in Stone: A Walking Tour of the Maitland Art Center
DESCRIPTION:Step behind the gates of the Maitland Art Center and into a world shaped by vision\, imagination\, and legacy.\nThis 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. \nClick here to reserve your tickets>>\nExperience the Tour\nAs 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.

SUMMARY:Automatic Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Ryan Price \nLocation: Cottage at Lake Lily \nCost: $60 + $5 material fees \nMaterials fees must be paid in cash directly to the instructor\, and are due on the day of the workshop. \nNo drawing experience is required! Open to all levels. Automatic drawing is a technique named by and commonly used by the Surrealists\, which involves the artist directly and randomly moving the pen or drawing tool with no preconceived image or plan. This technique is similar to what writers termed “Stream of consciousness” writing\, where\, through a mental shift\, drawing automatically allows participants to let their subconscious flow through their hands. \nParticipants will be encouraged to draw their hearts’ content out and learn to unshackle themselves from hesitation caused by the anxiety of being confronted by a blank sheet. Students will create many drawings using many different materials to get them out of their heads and out of their comfort zones. Students will learn about processes like automatism\, frottage\, and responsive drawing. The drawing doesn’t ever have to be quote-on-quote finished; it can be left as a single deposit of personal memory. There is no right or wrong way to practice automatic drawing. \nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:First Saturdays Open Studios
DESCRIPTION:Connect with our Studio Resident Artists and see what pieces they’re currently working on! \nOn the first Saturday of every month from 11am–4pm\, all of our Studio Artists will open their doors and welcome you into their creative spaces. This is your chance to connect directly with the artists\, explore their works-in-progress\, and ask questions about their practice. \nBonus: Enjoy FREE admission to our museums on these days! \nThis new program comes directly from your feedback asking for more predictable opportunities to engage with our artists and community. \nGrab your FREE tickets here! \nPlus\, receive a 10% discount when you sign up for a membership during First Saturday events!
