Florida Prize Exhibition Preview Party 2026

Experience one of Florida’s most anticipated art events of the year at the Orlando Museum of Art’s 2026 Florida Prize in Contemporary Art Preview Party.

Be among the first to step inside this landmark exhibition—the largest Florida Prize show to date—featuring twelve groundbreaking artists and collaborative duos shaping the pulse of contemporary art across the state.

Proceeds from the event will support the Orlando Museum of Art.

Expect an unforgettable evening infused with creativity, community, and celebration. Enjoy a first look at bold new installations, immersive environments, and innovative works spanning painting, sculpture, photography, performance, weaving, and beyond.

Throughout the night, savor culinary creations from some of Central Florida’s most exciting chefs, each crafting a dish inspired by one of the exhibiting artists.

As part of the festivities, one artist will be awarded the coveted $20,000 Florida Prize, selected by this year’s distinguished juror. Guests will also kick off the summer-long People’s Choice Award— voting your chance to champion your favorite artist.

This is the night the art world will be buzzing about. Don’t miss your chance to be part of it all—while supporting OMA’s mission to ignite curiosity, foster connection, and share the power of contemporary art with the community.
