A STEAM Gallery is a contemplative space that explores the intersection of art and science. It is a fitting home for this showcase featuring the unique talents and skills of our community’s Black architects, artists and designers. Orlando Science Center is dedicated to being a welcoming and inclusive place for learning and discovery for our entire community. We are honored to premiere this exhibition during Black History Month and celebrate the beautiful diversity of our creative community in Central Florida. |

"Architecture is both an art and a science; a process where one can dream up an idea, apply a series of tried-and-true methods to make it a reality. Architecture is a field that has many contributors that have reimagined, critiqued, and shaped the built environment to what it is today. This exhibit will celebrate the contributions that African Americans have given to this field. A journey introducing historical figures, presenting more recent works from today's African American Architects, and bringing to light student's work, showcasing what can emerge out of a future generation of African American Architects."
