SNAP! Orlando

Snap! is hands down my favorite photography gallery. They rotate their shows on a regular basis which is great for frequent visitors like myself. I think I’ve been to almost every opening since ‘Vintage Nouveau,” their first show.
Speaking of openings, Snap has proven themselves to have some of the best show openings in Orlando. Not only do they draw large crowds but they seem to attract diverse, eclectic and young people at each opening. What makes them even better is that they’re always free!
If you happen to make it in here during the day, their beautiful urban space makes for a great backdrop to take photos in, which I am guilty of obnoxiously doing every time I stop in because their diffused window lighting makes for great portraits LOL. Check this place out for their interesting photo exhibitions, fun exhibition openings or to rent their space out.

My first time and how did I live so close and not know this existed? We came to Snap! Space for the Red Bull BC One opening night event that featured a Hip Hop photography exhibit by Joe Conzo from the Bronx.
This location could not have been better with its eclectic, non-​precocious exterior/​interior that lent itself to the old school vibe of this event. There was plenty of room to move around and the white walls and ambient lighting enhanced the enjoyment of the photography and other pieces. Acoustics were good for the DJ’d event — not too loud so you could socialize. For an hour I felt like I was back in the City!
The outdoor area was easily accessible had plenty of space for impromptu b-​boy dancers to do their thing! I’m following Snap! Space now some don’t miss out on any other cool events here.
Tip: There are a few good restaurants right nearby to go have a bite or two and you can just cross the street through the back to walk over (Noodles and Rice, The Strand, etc.)

This is such a fun gallery. I have attended a couple of events here as well as checked out the various exhibits, and this place is truly a gem if you appreciate art.
It’s not a massive space, so it is not overwhelming. And it doesn’t have that pretentious snooty art feel. I’ve been warmly greeted each time I’ve gone, and have really enjoyed walking around at my own pace and checking out each exhibit. If you’ve got an hour or two and need some culture, definitely visit Snap!

Snap! Orlando All about Warhol was yet another fabulous event put together by Snap! I loved everything about it from the Marilyn Monroe famous photo to the differents photos of Andy Warhol.
This event took place in the gorgeous Orlando Museum of art and like I said before it was fabulous.
The events are usually free but Snap! does accept donations. In addition to their location on Colonial drive at the old Cameo theater, Snap! Orlando is having events during the month of May throughout central Florida.
In all honesty Snap! Orlando events are always fun and a great way to discover artists. I encourage people in Orlando and Central Florida to attend one of their events, you will certainly not be disappointed.

Beautiful space! My husband and I went for the first time last night for the Art & Craft closing event and had a great time. The collection of art was fascinating and fun to look at and the cocktails were delicious. We’ll definitely be watching for future events!

I truly enjoyed myself. All of the pieces on display were just fascinating to me. I can’t wait until the next one; looking forward to it.

If you haven’t made your way over to Snap just yet, please do so. I had the pleasure of touring the gallery’s current exhibit, «Identity,» on Thursday afternoon, and I can’t recommend the space highly enough.
The main focus is the photography, but there are also sculptures, paintings, and a small library of curated books. The featured artists come from around the world, and each work tells a remarkable story. I toured the gallery while the curator, Patrick was around, and his passion and knowledge were a fresh breath of air on my day.
Snap also regularly hosts various events… Yoga, book signings, parties, workshops etc. I can’t wait to head back and check them out.

I recently attended an event at Snap! & was pleasantly surprised by the space. The Creative City Project hosted Anthology, a night of local writers reading their stories while guests enjoyed a cocktail inspired by the story, all in the Snap! Gallery. The set up of Snap is very nice, open & bring, & the art on the walls was beautiful.
That said, it is poorly labeled & easy to miss when you drive by& the parking around it isn’t ideal. In all though, a nice little gallery & space to hold events!

I love this gallery/​event space! So happy to have Snap! take up residence in the old Cameo Theater building in Mills50. Everything from the Mark Gmehling mural on the outside of the building to the recent exhibits has, in my opinion, elevated the neighborhood’s style and the Orlando art scene. The exhibits have included local and international artists in well-​curated collections with fun opening parties. I’ve been to non-​opening events here too like the Snap! After Dark featuring Lyft party which also had live fashion models, very cool.
Sidenote: really surprised more people don’t hang out in the outdoor patio area. The DJs always provide a great vibe and I love the architecture of it and the lighting. If you haven’t gone out there, go out there :-)

Wow! I am in love!
Snap! Space is super cool. Located on 50 just before mills Snap! is a mid-​size art gallery with plenty of open space and an adorable courtyard to boot. Be on the lookout when trying to get here because you might miss it. The all white building is sandwiched in-​between two others and traffic can be a little hectic on this side of town.
They appear to host a lot of events here showcasing local and renowned artists. This venue is exactly what you think it would be. Concrete white walls, open iron ceiling, cream flooring. It screams chic, trendy and sophisticated. You can either park on the side streets or in the parking lot behind the building.
Tonight was their «Snap! After Dark featuring Lyft» event. Which included many vendors offering samples of their services or food/​drinks, live music and even some photography. Tonight included a Sushi station, Vegetarian station, complimentary manicure station, and complimentary beer, wine, and tasty fruit drinks. The live performance by Palmer Reed was the highlight of my evening!
BTW — Lyft is a super cool cab service operated via App. You download it, request a cab and a driver is on the way. You are provided with a picture of the cab and it’s driver. When they pick you up you can sit in the front, charge your phone and choose your favorite music for the ride. Payment is made thru the app so don’t worry about needing cash.
I also liked one of the complimentary photo bracelets that were given out at the door. What a super cool idea (see picture :-D).
Thanks Unilocal for sending me to Snap! Space it was such a good way to end the work day and start the weekend. I will absolutely be back and be bringing friends.

Great space! In old cruises only building– amazing art! Featured local and international talent– multimedia. Curator on staff was very attentive and gave us a mini tour of some highlights in current exhibit. This kind of art venue is exactly what Orlando needs more of! Loved it!

Wow– what an amazing use of a beautiful, iconic Orlando building!
Snap! Space is a neighborhood gallery in Mills50 that showcases fantastic local, national, and international photographers’ work.
This space used to be the Cameo Theatre in the 1920s and a few architects from Process Architecture (local firm) have helped restore the building’s façade.
The inside of the old theater is a huge, wide 1^st floor with half painted and half rough walls and a fantastic, long outdoor space bordered by tall white walls. As you climb the stairs to the second floor you will see a window to the outdoor space (a great opportunity to peek out and for a shameless selfie).
The opening show, Vintage Nouveau, is a beautifully curated photography show. It gives you an insight as to the aesthetic vision of Patrick Kahn (of Snap!, Orlando’s huge annual art installation show) and makes you feel incredibly excited for shows to come.
Everyone in Orlando needs to take an afternoon to check out this fantastic Orlando building and surprising gallery!
