An evening of live music, strolling through galleries and networking lies ahead for young professionals at the Downtown Arts District’s “Art After Dark” soiree.
From 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on March 14, guests can gather at CityArts Orlando for the annual 21 and up mixer to get henna tattoos, tarot card readings, portrait sketches by artist Darby, or even indulge in whiskey and beer tastings along with “light bites” from local eateries.
The evening continues with artist meet-and-greets, silent auctions and live entertainment by Jayo and DJ’s Frankie Messina and Antonia Rivano.
“2026 is off to a terrific start, and we are thrilled to host our signature evening of art, culture and live entertainment for young professionals and the young at heart with the return of Art After Dark,” Barbara Hartley, Downtown Arts District Executive Director, said in a press release. “The popular event provides a unique opportunity to experience Orlando’s vibrant art scene in a fun and stylish way, keeping with our mission to enhance the visibility of the vibrant arts community. We look forward to seeing many new and familiar faces experience Art After Dark and all the unique and memorable programs that DAD has to offer this year.”
