ArtReach Orlando Programs

In partnership with OCPS, these short-term arts-integrated residencies combine Language Arts standards and visual art to develop students’ ability to share their personal stories through various forms of creative expression. 

In partnership with Finding the Lost Sheep Ministry, this summer camp and after school program for elementary and middle school students in Ocoee fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and discovery through visual art and the creative process.

ArtReach’s Community Classroom is located inside the Arts on Arlington facility in Parramore. Arts on Arlington is a renovated 10,000 square-foot building home to McRae Art Studios, space for exhibitions, and ArtReach Orlando's Community Classroom. Through a partnership with McRae Art studios, our students have the opportunity to interact with professional artists and tour their studios. The arts are not only educational and a tool for self-expression, they create pathways for students’ futures. This partnership invites students to see a future in the arts. 

In 2021, ArtReach collaborated with three local artists and youth from the community on the creation of a mural to transform the outside of our Community Classroom. The exterior now reflects the inspiring programs that occur within its walls. Our hope is that young people from around the community will see the mural and know there is a place where they will be celebrated and supported, a place where they can create, connect, and heal through the transformative process of art.
