Now in its fourth year, the Central Florida Aquarium Society (CFLAS) presents Immersed, Orlando's premier aquatic art show, featuring aquatic-themed art utilizing a myriad of mediums, including paintings, sculpture, metalwork, and live aquarium installations.
Conservation, management, and care of aquatic livestock is very important to our organization and our tens of thousands of members. For this reason, we strive to use aquacultured livestock that is farmed locally rather than collected from the wild in all of our displays.
Every year, Immersed continues to grow in participation and attendance. Our month-long show is host to over 50 artists and exhibitors who showcase over $100,000 of artwork and aquatic installations for over 1,500 guests opening night, a combined total of more than 20,000 guests throughout the show's duration.
All artwork and aquariums are available for purchase. There are also silent auctions and online raffles taking place throughout the event. We invite you to join us and #GetImmersed!
What a tremendous way to share the hobby and aquatic life with the community, do some education, and give artists a way to show off their work in a different environment. I really applaud them for being creative with this. I think it's just a tremendous idea.

I think this event is great. There's not a whole lot of other [art galleries] geared towards underwater themes, and in general, there's not a lot of places for artists to express their work in Orlando, so events like this are really invaluable.

Aquariums, whether large or small, are always a form of art, letting the designer express their creativity and style throughout the tank. The Central Florida Aquarium Society (CFLAS) will be hosting "Immersed", Orlando's [premier] aquaculture art gallery exhibit.

It has been such a growing experience and I am so extremely proud of how Immersed turned out!
