For this installment of Imaginarium we celebrate the imagination of the creative mind in its most purest form with nine very talented local artists displaying their vibrant and creative artwork at the Chapman Leonard Studios located in Orlando Central Park. This group of artists is a mixture of established and emerging individuals that are a vital part of the Central Florida arts community. Their debut at Chapman/Leonard Studios brings them to a fresh set of eyes.

“Put your top hats on and take a ride with us through this whimsical romp of playful, psychedelic, and thought provoking creations by some of your favorite local artists. Awe and wonder will abound as you observe this collection of eclectic specimens of uninhibited imagination. Keep your hands and legs flailing wildly at all times, feed the animals rainbow gummy bears, and enjoy the trip.” – The Ringmaster
