Orange County Arts & Cultural Affairs announced Monday that it will hold a free reception on Friday, November 13, for “Tomorrow Comes: A Journey of Strength.” The downtown Orlando exhibition brings together work connected to Orlando Health’s Arts in Medicine program and focuses on people who have experienced cancer. The show is scheduled to remain on view through December 10.
The reception takes place in the Atrium Art Gallery at the Orange County Administration Center, 201 S. Rosalind Ave. Doors open at 5 p.m., the reception starts at 5:30 p.m., and the scheduled program begins at 5:45 p.m. Those are three separate times, so someone hoping to hear the program can plan around 5:45 rather than the door time. Admission is free; the county asks visitors to register in advance through its official ticket link. It also provides a parking map in the announcement.
If Friday evening does not work, the exhibition offers a separate daytime option. The arts calendar lists the administration center’s public hours as weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., except holidays, and describes the exhibit as free. Check the dated exhibit calendar before traveling around Thanksgiving or another holiday. The administration center is the place to see the work; the hospital program has its own location and participation arrangements.
The partnership brings a program usually encountered through cancer care into a public gallery. Orlando Health describes creative activities in settings including infusion treatment, and the organizers cite painting, collage and drawing among the ways participants can work. The county says donations cover participation for Central Florida patients and caregivers. That is separate from visiting the exhibit: the reception and the weekday gallery visits are public, and you don’t have to take part in the hospital program to see the show.
