Timucua Arts Foundation

Excellent venue for showcasing Orlando's upcoming talent. Perfect setting to accommodate a crowd but not intimidate the performers.

This place was great!! Very intimate with the most amazing audio/video setup. I was fortunate enough to go with the management from a local news radio station and got the complete backstory of the building and how it came to be. The owner/designer of the venue walked us through the entire building process and got the inside scoop. It was an amazing experience to say the least. They started with a local artists film from the independent film festival and then went on to play through the lead jazz artists inspirational artists compositions. We entered the building/home and were immediately greeted with our choice of wine ( bring a bottle leave a bottle) it was very community oriented and the wine was from a guest prior to us. I had no idea what to expect but was very impressed. I definitely underestimated how amazing the venue/home would be. (It's a home turned venue) If you get a chance to go here do yourself the favor and do so.

We went last night for a Live! Recording of The Greenjays and Friends. It was great! The atmosphere is nice and cozy and the acoustics are wonderful! They have a state of the art sound setup and are utilizing a unique technology from Holland. When you come in, they do offer wine and water for free. Patrons donate wine bottles and that's what the volunteers provide to the guests. All and all a great experience and we will be back. The Greenjays are a great local jazz band and I recommend checking them out.

This is truly a hidden gem in central Florida. I saw some amazing musical performances here in the past.Many date nights.Please donate and support this small local treasure.

I loved the intimate vibes. It's nice to have a live performance venue for people who appreciate music. To be honest, if it wasn't for a yelp event a few years back, I would have never known this place existed. But I'd like to revisit more often, to see what it's like after covid. I was impressed with how they renovated the house to have a 2 story auditorium with a stage. Ticket prices are usually affordable, depending on who's performing, and they encourage people to bring wine and snacks to be shared with other attendees. Donations are also encouraged. I suggest that anyone who is interested to sign up for their e-newsletter to stay up to date with the events/performance schedule.

How is it that I have never gone here before?What an exquisite gem of a venue! We arrived about ten minutes early, gave our wine and food to a staff member, and sat outside with charming lights and plants on the covered patio.On the way in we gratefully made our contribution in a jar by the door. Once inside we were immediately impressed with the beauty of the welcoming area. Jim Spence was an amazing guitarist and I could have listened to him all night. Lauren Heinz made me feel like a was sitting on a back porch on an Alabama summers day, drinking a Big Dipper of cool well water.Loved the intimate setting of this and will definitely go back again and again

Perfect place to watch live performances. Great date spot or night out with friends and best of all walking distance in Wadeview park/Delaney's neighborhood.

An amazing hidden gem that I had no idea even existed until last night's adventure!! And I live 2 miles away from it!! I mean really, this place blew me away. There is street parking so it's a short walk. The entryway is a little steep, so heads up if you have mobility issues, you'll need to add a little time and go slower.Once inside there is a small entry way with a desk area. From there the double doors lead to a small stage (i.e. their living room) and then a spiral staircase that goes up three floors! There is a gorgeous balcony with a great view line - check that out. The stage and seating is intimate. It's ideal for a small show or a more personal show. I think this would be great for an open mic night!Overall: A++Gorgeous intimate venue with an amazing staff. Support local!!

5 Stars for an intimate arts venue, inside someone's house, that hosts incredible local and international musicians and actors. Most of the shows at The Timucua White House are free with a donation plus bring your own snacks/wine. You rarely need to buy your spot ahead of time, but the show I attended was with Grammy Award winning jazz flutist, Nestor Torres, so reservations were required and there was a long line of people waiting outside in case there were unclaimed seats. As you enter, you'll pass a dining room of sorts, where snacks and wine that guests bring is set up for the picking. Along side is the kitchen and through a set of doors you'll walk into a tall theater. Three narrow floors look down upon the stage and are accessible by a winding staircase. Each floor has a bathroom and the two top floors have space for a couple of small couches and some stools. All together I think they have room for 100 guests.The intimate setting, located inside a family's home, makes this space feel unique, special, and like something you feel compelled to support and protect. And one way to do that is to become a member. They were saying it costs $100/year and you get priority seating to their shows. Plus, it's a nonprofit arts organization so you can feel charitable while scoring great seats!So, go online. Check out the calendar. And pick up some snacks to share with your fellow local art/music loving Orlandoans!

I don't know how I have lived in the Orlando area for so long and never knew about this place - what a gem! First of all, I have to say it wasn't easy to find. And that's because I didn't realize it is a house that has been renovated to be an intimate venue for various arts events like concerts and artist presentations. It was night time so it was very dark. I drove past it the first time and noticed the beautiful lights around the house thinking "that's so pretty - they have their Christmas light up early". (It was beginning of November.) I'm not sure if they have the lights up year-round so just be aware that it's in a residential and is an actual house - it doesn't look like a business building. My GPS app navigated me to the back of the house, but the front of the house faces Boone High School. Thankfully, there were several people walking up to the venue so I just followed the people!There is limited parking along the street, but there is a city park near the house and we were instructed in an email that we could park there, which is what my friend and I did. Once you get to the house, you walk into beautiful and intimate surroundings. The concert I went to was not one that was put on by the Timucua Arts Foundation, but apparently they have intimate concerts and other events every week. They took our tickets at the front "lobby" which looked like a museum with beautiful displays. We were directed where to go and proceeded to the location where the concert was being held. The venue is literally the home owner's living room, albeit a very large and beautiful one! A small stage is up front with a large video monitor that I assumed used for some of the events. The venue room has balcony seating on the second floor and even a small amount of seating on a third level. But if you're afraid of heights, I suggest staying on ground level! The acoustics is professional and top notch and once the band started, it filled the room without being overpowering or deafening. The home owner, Benoit, welcomed us before the show started. He told us a little bit about the foundation and some of the upcoming events. They ask for a donation for admission and usually ask $10-20 depending on the venue. Its a non-profit and they do this to share their love of the arts. The types of performances vary and they range from jazz to Latino music, classical ensembles as well as live art performances where an artist paints to music. They don't have a liquor license, but guests are welcome to bring their own. There is beautiful art work on display throughout the entire home. Make sure to check out their website to see their calendar of events and learn more about them. I was pleasantly pleased with the whole venue and am so glad I finally discovered it! If you like music and the arts, you definitely need to check this place out!
