The Dr. P. Phillips Orlando Performing Arts Center has selected Orlando-based BOBOSART as its art consultant. BOBOSART has been retained to work on the Master Art Plan, including integrating public art into the performing arts center’s architecture. Principals Michael Lehman and Victoria Cerrone will manage the artist selection process for the public art.
Lehman has specialized in art consulting and art solutions for private and public clients since co-founding BOBOSART in 2004. Lehman has more than 30 years of experience with process and project management in construction, urban planning, environmental management and human resources. Lehman sits on the Orange County Public Arts Review Board.
As vice president of BOBOSART, Cerrone is responsible for sales and marketing development, strategic relationship building, concept design, art procurement, quality assurance and supply chain management.
“What an honor it is to be working with this remarkable group of people who are transforming the cultural landscape of our hometown,” said Michael Lehman, president of BOBOSART. “The performing arts center is a symbol of cultural maturity, of a deeper understanding of the importance of hearing and telling our stories. Public art has an essential role to play. We’re happy to be here.”
In addition to Lehman and Cerrone, Todd W. Bressi and Richard T. Reep will act as the affiliates on the performing arts center project.
Todd W. Bressi is an urban designer and planner and brings a sense of how architecture, landscape design and art can interact in design and construction projects.
An artist and architect, Richard T. Reep is a board member of the Orlando Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). He also serves on the faculty of Rollins College and the Maitland Art Center, and is active in the Florida Renewable Energy Coalition.
