This 36 minute presentation was moderated by Matt Palm, fine arts reporter and critic for the Orlando Sentinel. The panelists discussed the ability of Central Florida to generate support and funding for the arts and a comparison between Orlando and other cities as a place where the arts can flourish. They described the new Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center and its impact on the arts scene when it opens in 22 months. They also evaluated the challenges for arts organizations and artists in Central Florida and touched on some of the exciting new cultural events coming soon.

This presentation was recorded before an audience of 200 league members and guests on Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at the Sorosis Club in Orlando Florida as part of a Hot Topics Luncheon hosted by the League of Women Voters of Orange County Florida.
