The Council of 101 was founded in 1965 to further the cultural development and appreciation of the visual arts in Central Florida. This outstanding group consists of 101 active members supported by associate, sustaining, honorary and provisional members who comprise an organization of nearly 300 women.
These dedicated women devote countless volunteer hours, boundless energy and strong personal skills to fund-raising projects that provide significant financial support to the Orlando Museum of Art. This level of giving is achieved through their annual operations, which primarily include the Festival of Trees and the Antiques Show & Sale.
In addition to cash donations, the Council of 101 purchases museum-quality prints created by contemporary American artists and gifts them to the Orlando Museum of Art. Prints from this collection may be leased by local businesses through a program administered by the Council of 101.
The Council of 101, since its inception, has contributed in excess of $5 million towards art, exhibits, facility renovation and Museum expansion programs.
