Lake Nona describes outdoor art as a long-standing part of the community's story, shaping a sense of place that feels lived-in and approachable rather than confined to gallery walls. The community says art is essential for creating moments of connection, and that through Tavistock Development Company's placemaking approach it helps shape how the community moves, gathers and comes to life. Six of Lake Nona's most popular outdoor exhibitions, all open to the public, are highlighted.
The Sculpture Garden is a 50,000-square-foot open-air landscape presenting a curated selection of works from The Lewis Collection, with large-scale sculptures standing in contrast to and complementing nature. The Glass House, part of Brooklyn-based artist Tom Fruin's ICON Series, is crafted from reclaimed materials and informed by sustainable design and American folk tradition, producing a stained-glass structure that glows and shifts with the changing light. The Beacon is a six-story landmark blending video, music and interactive light into a layered nighttime experience, with the nearby Code Wall featuring dichroic glass embedded with imagery and messages rendered in binary code; both were created with Lake Nona artist JEFRE, New York-based Michael Counts and 3-Legged Dog.
The Prismatic Mural was created alongside the launch of an 8,500-square-foot chiller plant designed to meet growing demand for central cooling, and is composed of more than 20 distinct hues realized with 225 gallons of paint. The DNA Garage mural wraps the structure's hard-edged fins in cascading strands inspired by Central Florida's citrus grove past, with helixes morphing into sports iconography. At Pixon, bold works by three women artists transform shared spaces into a living gallery, drawing on graffiti influences and the shimmering waters of the surrounding lakes.
