The Orlando Museum of Art (Website) will host two Access for All events this month in partnership with the Art Bridges Foundation, during which guests can enjoy free admission.
Free admission will be offered on Thursday, December 19, and December 26, from 10 am.-8 p.m. this holiday season.
“We are so proud to have a program like Access for All because our core goal is to serve as a beacon of creativity, representation, and self-expression in the community,” said Cathryn Mattson, CEO of the Orlando Museum of Art. “Our partnership with the generous Art Bridges Foundation enables us to do this in an accessible and selfless way, something that is truly important to us, especially during the holiday season.”
The December 19 event will feature a gallery talk at 1:30 p.m. with Dr. Richard L. Gray who will share the story behind his renowned guitar collection, as well as an unforgettable lecture on skatepark design at 6 p.m. with Tim Payne, Founder and President of Team Pain Skate Parks. Little Giant Chinese Food (Instagram) will also be hosting a pop-up from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The December 26 event will see the return of La CinOMAthéque; a collaboration between OMA and the Enzian, providing guests with a free screening of the 1967 experimental film Wavelength by Canadian artist Michael Snow. Prefaced by an introduction by UCF Film professor Jimmy Schaus and followed by a talkback with OMA Chief Curator Coralie Claeysen-Gleyzon and Enzian Programming Manager Tim Anderson. The film will be shown in its entirety and its original format, using a special 16mm projector. Shot in December 1966, and premiered in May 1967, the film is a daring continuous zoom which takes 45 minutes to go from its widest field to its smallest and final field. Guests can also enjoy artwork from OMA’s current fall exhibitions, Golden Legacy, Torn Apart: PUNK, PUSH: 80s Skateboarding Photography and Front Row Center all on view through January 5.
