Orlando's original art party, now in its fourteenth season, is the award-winning 1st Thursdays presented by the Associates, an Orlando Museum of Art (OMA) volunteer support group committed to expanding OMA membership and encouraging the appreciation of the visual arts.  The theme for April is For the Birds. A visual celebration of our fine-feathered friends.

From 6:00pm to 9:00pm the first Thursday of each month, the OMA showcases a new theme with works by local artists. There is also live music and café offerings, handcrafted beers, wine and soft drinks are available for purchase throughout the evening.  Plus, 1st Thursdays guests receive free entrance to the OMA's featured exhibitions. 

Admission to 1st Thursdays is $10, always free for OMA Members, and includes admission to the OMA's featured exhibition Contemporary Glass Sculpture: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Studio Glass. Parking is free at Orlando Loch Haven Park; overflow parking is available at the Orlando Science Center parking garage. For more information, call 407 896 4231 x260, or visit www.OMArt.org.
