Virtual Fringe in 2020

Posted on by The Wandering Art Historian

The Fringe that almost was… LIVES ON!

That’s right, we are currently on Day 7 of Fringe Today! the virtual Fringe Festival of 2020 here in Central Florida. Because the Orlando Fringe moved to the world wide interwebs, more people can participate and all performances and presentations are FREE!

So far I have watched the “Haunted” performance by VarieTease starring the exceptional Blue Star, a full live DJ set and a pet-themed quick-draw fundraising event for Visual Fringe. Two local artists drew Chipper the Regal Beagle!

I have also “popped in” on a wacky dance workout show and a performance by local children’s performing legend, Mr. Richard. The song about the Baby Bo-Bo Bird has been stuck in my head ever since!

I encourage you to tune in at anytime on any day to help support our local artists, performers, dancers, actors, singers and even our local art historians. That’s right… my very special presentation of “Art History in Pop Culture” is tomorrow night!

I am writer and artist with a degree in art history who loves to talk to people about art. I have spent the last seven years building up The Wandering Art Historian “brand” as a way to connect with people who want to learn more about art. I give lectures and presentations and teach classes and host book club discussions with a creative or artistic connection. I also write about local artists, events, museums, and exhibitions to promote the arts in Central Florida. In 2021, I had a creative crisis. I struggled with authenticity in the art making process. I decided to make myself vulnerable and find out what a real, genuine Adrienne H. Lee artwork would look like. The process was challenging and emotional and revelatory. I learned that if necessity is the mother of invention, then authenticity is the mother of reinvention. I reinvented myself and learned an entirely new medium. The resulting artwork surprised me, and it will surprise you, too. Some people wish for a fairytale ending. For me, the fairy tale is only the beginning.
