Emerald Arts
We believe art is strongest when it is shared. Learned, practiced, and experienced together.
A contemporary arts center coming soon to downtown Lakeland, Florida.
Emerald Arts is founded by local professional artists and a Lakeland-based arts advocate, bringing exhibitions, education, and creative production together within a single 17,000-square-foot campus housed in a restored 1922 landmark building.
The campus will include an art school, multiple galleries, dedicated artist studios, a membership-based makerspace, a museum-quality retail shop, an on-site café, and an outdoor courtyard for live music, community events, and public programming.
Emerald Arts will serve as the anchor institution of Lakeland's emerging creative district. It is committed to expanding access to the visual arts and becoming a destination for creativity, connection, and culture in Central Florida.
One campus for creativity, learning & community.
Exhibitions, education, and creative production, brought together under one roof and designed to be experienced together.
Made by artists,
built for everyone.
