The Orlando Museum of Art has opened the 2026 Florida Prize in Contemporary Art exhibition, featuring finalists whose works explore global cultures and ideas. Artist Charo Oquet presents an immersive installation drawing on her Afro-Caribbean heritage, as captured in a photo by Patrick Connolly of the Orlando Sentinel.
This exhibition matters because the Florida Prize is a key platform for contemporary artists in the state, highlighting diverse cultural perspectives and fostering dialogue between local and global art practices. It underscores the Orlando Museum of Art's role in supporting regional talent while engaging with broader artistic conversations.
