The Florida Prize group exhibition opens at OMA

This weekend sees the return of OMA’s signature arts event, the Florida Prize, for an 11th year. Even though the local museum has weathered a turbulent last few years, the Florida Prize has never experienced a drop in quality or vibrancy.

This year sees a curated lineup of thought-provoking and adventurous young and mid-career artists from all around Florida. Each artist brings to OMA either a selection of recent works or large-scale installations to fit the space. The 2025 artists are Nathalie Alfonso, Eddie Arroyo, Leo Castañeda, (Orlando’s own) Kelly Joy Ladd, Amanda Linares, Kandy G. Lopez, Jiha Moon, Troy Simmons, Cornelius Tulloch and Lisu Vega.

The winner of the titular Prize will be announced Friday evening at the always-glittering opening reception. The exhibition officially opens on Saturday, May 31, and runs through Aug. 24.

opening reception 6 p.m. Friday, May 30, Orlando Museum of Art, $50.
