Reflecting on Fusion Fest’s Art Exhibition at Orlando International Airport FusionFest was honored to present a special visual art exhibition at Orlando International Airport, which was extended multiple times, shining a spotlight on the creative talents of Central Florida’s diverse cultural communi- ty. The exhibition featured works by 11 local artists, each bringing their own unique per- spective, style and heritage to the collection. We extend our deepest gratitude to the fea- tured artists: Dafeney Josue, German Lemus, Grace Liu, Hend Al-Rijab, Jay Rios, Juan D. Tena, Kristina Bozanich, Martha Sanders, Monica Diaz, Stephen Shooster and Trish Jimenez. We’d also like to thank the amazing vocalist, Martha Castrillon , who delighted us with her wonderful vocal talent during the reception hosted by Gallery MCO in honor of our artist. Each of these artists beautifully reflected the spirit of FusionFest, celebrating identity, di- versity and unity through visual storytelling.
Curated by Fusion Fest’s own Visual Arts Curator, Gareth Edwards , owner of A Perfect Union Gallery located in West Oaks Mall— the exhibition served as a powerful reminder of the cultural richness found right here in our local art scene. We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to Angela Starke, Lindy Shepherd , the Gallery MCO Team , and the entire Or- lando International Airport team for their collaboration and support in making this exhibition possible. Their commitment to highlighting local voices through public art has helped connect travelers from around the world with the creative heartbeat of our re- gion. Although this exhibition has now conclud- ed, its impact endures. We are proud to have shared the stories, visions and vibrant cul- tural expressions of our local artists with the countless visitors who passed through the airport during the run of the show. Thank you to everyone who made this pos- sible, and to all who continue to support the arts and cultural inclusion across Central Florida.
