Orlando Museum of Art's 1st Thursdays is an award winning monthly event with a unique theme, featured artists, live music, presentations, appetizers from local restaurants, and a cash bar with wine, beer, and soda.

    This month's event is entitled "Art of Love, Love of Art" and will feature works of art inspired by a multifaceted glimpse into the perception of love through artists’ eyes. Listen to music provided by Dr. Otto, a jazz musician in the Orlando community. Food will be provided by the Bohemian Baker, an Orlando catering company that serves fresh food baked from scratch, with light ingredients that don't use heavy dyes or sugars. Guests will be able to enjoy artistic demonstrations by Steve Piscitelli and chocolate sculpting by Paul Joachim, an International Celebrity Chef and Food Network Challenge Winner. There will also be video clips from the Florida Film Festival.

    At 1st Thursday, guests will also have an opportunity to learn about the Red Chair Project and the Florida Artists Registry in Orlando. There will be information on the the 23rd Florida Film Festival presented by the Enzian Theater, and info about the Orlando Ballet. Visitors will also be able to delight in henna art by Billie, and have custom and personalized love poetry written just for you by writer Elaine Person.
