Introducing the ‘Unbelievably Real’ Mural
Designed by Orlando-based artist Clark Orr, the mural brings to life how all aspects of the region shine, from tourism highlights like nightly fireworks and water adventures to innovative technologies such as simulation and rocket launches. The mural has been displayed in Brooklyn, Mexico City, Manchester and London in the past year, and now makes its debut in Orlando.

“Nearly a year after the global launch of our ‘Unbelievably Real’ brand, we are excited to bring home a mural, designed by an Orlando artist, that is a visual representation of our entire destination, incorporating everything from our theme parks and beloved landmarks to elements of our dining, arts, culture and technology scenes that showcase Orlando’s dynamic nature,” said Casandra Matej, president & CEO, Visit Orlando.
“This mural brings to life all of what makes our region transformational and groundbreaking, from nightly theme park fireworks and adventures on our waterways to our region’s role in developing some of the world’s most innovative technologies and leading the nation’s space race,” said Tim Giuliani, president & CEO, Orlando Economic Partnership. “It showcases the imagination and innovation of our vibrant region, enriches people’s perceptions of Orlando, and demonstrates to our residents and visitors alike that they are part of what makes Orlando ‘Unbelievably Real’ too.”

The “Unbelievably Real” brand launch is part of a multiyear initiative for Visit Orlando and Orlando Economic Partnership. The two organizations also launched O.U.R. (Orlando Unbelievably Real) Culture Project to engage with Orlando residents and cultivate new methods to showcase pride in the Orlando region. Future activities will include the creation of a new symbol for Orlando and the installation of a permanent Orlando sign to become an interactive and iconic backdrop.
The #407Day contest will be over before you know it, so make plans now to post your “Unbelievably Real” mural images by April 17, tag @VisitOrlando and @TastyChomps, and earn your chance to win prizes while enjoying our city’s newest artwork and supporting all your favorite Orlando businesses.
