For more than three decades, Disney has played a meaningful role in strengthening Central Florida’s arts and culture community, contributing more than $3 million to United Arts of Central Florida to support artists, nonprofit organizations, arts education programs, and community initiatives that help creativity thrive across our region.
That commitment was celebrated in a special moment at EPCOT during the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, where United Arts was invited to receive a ceremonial check and experience firsthand how Disney elevates the arts on a global stage.
The Festival of the Arts is more than an event. It is an immersive celebration of visual art, performance, culinary creativity, and storytelling. It showcases the diverse works of artists while providing opportunities for guests to experience the transformative power of creativity in accessible and joyful ways.
Disney’s support of United Arts reflects a shared belief: that the arts are essential to a vibrant, connected, and economically strong community.
Corporate partnership at this level is about more than dollars. It is about long-term commitment, shared vision, and collective impact.
As Central Florida continues working toward becoming a Global Creative Capital by 2045, partnerships like Disney’s help ensure that artists and cultural organizations have the resources they need to grow, innovate, and serve our community.
We are deeply grateful for Disney’s sustained investment and proud to stand alongside a partner that understands the arts are not an accessory to community life — they are foundational to it.
Together, we make art possible.
