What is Faith Arts Village Orlando (FAVO)?
The church across the street owned the motel operation until closing the inn’s doors in 2007. Unsure what to do with the property, the congregation brainstormed ways to utilize the former motel in a way that would benefit both the church and the community. The church’s pastor, Helen DeBevoise brought the concept of making the motel property a creative place. Others in the church, plus organist, Will Benton, suggested the motel rooms be converted into artist studios available to creators 24 hours a day.
Today, FAVO is a collective of local artists who rent art studio rooms to express, create and show their message and talent. Here we provide affordable studio space and a place for local artists to work on their craft plus display and sell their art!
Contact us to inquire about renting an art studio for yourself.
