During the Valencia College online fall semester of 2020, the Humanities Department of Osceola Campus launched a new digital venue for public conversations about the human experience. It features timely museum and art gallery exhibits, virtual theater and a virtual speaker series that include but not limited to Sign of the Times: Student Art Show, Valencia Voices: Pandemic Podcast, Race, Myth, Art and Justice, Frank Lloyd Wright Tour and Immigration Under A New Administration by Sara Mora —that serve as entry points into different realms of discussion, and address different constituencies and interests.

Our goal is to reach a broader audience to share the humanities, because we believe that the cultural environment is too important to be confined and is explicitly outward-facing, a work of public humanities, designed to allow students to explore a range of contemporary concerns. As a digital forum, it leverages the capabilities of new media to facilitate this conversation. We encourage visitors to intervene, to interpret, and hopefully to be entertained.
