ORLANDO, Fla. — It’s an invitation to take in Black history and examine moments intrinsic to the cultural experience.

Spectrum News 13’s Julie Gargotta takes you On the Town, as art comes to life in Orlando’s City Hall.

“I want to see, can I handle this challenge of fixing this line, getting this shade correct,” said artist Sharard Saddlers.

It was during the height of COVID three years ago that the former Florida A&M football player imagined himself doing this.

“I had to occupy my mind and express myself," he said of his work that lines the halls of City Hall’s Terrace Gallery.

It’s alongside other artists, like Delia Miller, who lean into history for her pieces.

“I showcase a Pullman maid, the many Black women that had to do jobs on the railroad system serving white women and their families," she said.

After high school in Apopka, Miller started tackling murals and later moved onto oil paints and portraits. Now she’s trying her hand at pencils and watercolor, as she also trains to become a commercial pilot.

Both hope residents will stop buy, view the works and learn.

13 visual artists were chosen to showcase pieces in the gallery. The art exhibit runs through April 30, and is open to the public. For more information, click here.
