Who We Are
Supporting an Industry of Service and Creativity
United Arts of Central Florida is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the one-stop-shop to support the arts, sciences and history in Lake, Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties.
Through a dynamic collaboration of individuals, businesses, local governments, foundations and more than 50 arts and cultural organizations, we work to enhance the quality and variety of cultural experiences throughout Central Florida.
We serve arts, sciences, history and other cultural providers, benefiting Central Florida residents and visitors, by raising and distributing funds and by providing management, administrative and advisory services.
Now in our 28th year of service to our community, United Arts has invested more than $141 million in local arts and culture organizations and education, and through them, the diverse and energetic community that is Central Florida because we believe that art, music, science, dance, history and theater matter… for our children, for our economy and for our community!
