ArtPlay is a new Osceola Arts exhibition encouraging you to play. A local creator is all about that.
1. Marcos Carrasco of College Park is a multidisciplinary artist. He dropped out of med school to pursue a full-time job in the arts. He’s one of many artists featured in the new ArtPlay experience.
2. “When I was younger, I learned to follow the rules,“ he said, smirking. “But eventually, in art, I believe you have to break the rules and find your style.”
3. His mom is a retired geologist and his late father was a university dean. But Marcos said he has art in his veins and risked the leap into making creation a full-time job. He works with everything from clay to inflatable metals.
4. ArtPlay: Florida Sculptors Summer Art Exhibition is going on now in Kissimmee at Osceola Arts. You’ll see representations of things like violins, fish and forks. Stuff you can “play” with.
5. Check out the new experience at Osceola Arts from June 6 through Aug. 6.
