The theme at 1st Thursdays at the Orlando Museum of Art (2416 North Mills Ave Orlando,
Florida) was “Before I Die:
Ultimate Celebration of Life”. This theme invited artists to submit their
version of a life well lived. On the “Before I Die, I want to…” wall, guests
could write their aspirations. Quotes I saw on the wall included, “Visit the Holy land”, “Become more ambitious”, and “Repeat all the good
again.”
On the first
Thursday of each month, you can discover local artists, listen to live music
and mingle with an eclectic mix of people. There are cash bars serving wine,
beer, soft drinks and water, and café offerings from area restaurants.
There
was music by DJ Atnarko Bear, Food by Hawker’s Asian Street Fare, and a Time-lapse
by Chalk Whisperer Kim Panella. Admission for museum members was free and $10
for visitors.
