One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at Osceola Arts

Osceola Arts is at 2411 E. Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, Kissimmee, FL.

From the very beginning, the Center was considered a county-wide organization. The members of the Center decided that the new facility needed to be more centrally located. So, when John J. Johnston offered a site halfway between St. Cloud and Kissimmee the members couldn't pass on his offer. On September 7, 1969, the new facility was dedicated and was named the Osceola County Art & Culture Center. The Center was home to the Osceola Players, Osceola County Art Association and the Historical Association of Osceola County. In the '90s The Center was renamed the Osceola Center for the Arts and focused on the creative arts. Today, the organization enjoys serving as the Local Arts Agency for Osceola County and producing over 150 performing and visual arts events each year. The arts have become a vital part of our growing diverse community. In 2014, the Board of Directors developed a strategic plan that positions The Center as a multi-site arts clearinghouse for the county and to reflect that vision the Osceola Center for the Arts was re-branded as Osceola Arts.
