Level99 Disney Springs: Meet the 23 Artists Behind the Venue's Stunning Visual World

Level99 Disney Springs: Meet the 23 Artists Behind the Venue’s Stunning Visual World

July 16, 2026

Written by Greg Gately

Level99 at Disney Springs is not just a game venue. It is a full-on art experience, and after spending three hours inside during the media preview, we can tell you the art is not decoration. It is part of the game, part of the story, and honestly one of the best reasons to go back.

Level99 has announced the 23 visual artists whose work fills every hallway, wall, and ceiling of the new Disney Springs West Side venue. The Disney Springs location features more than 40 pieces of original artwork, making it the largest art installation at any Level99 location to date. Seven of the 23 artists are from Florida, with two based right here in Central Florida.

If you have already read our full Level99 review, you know that finding Glyphs hidden throughout the art installations was a personal highlight. For anyone wondering where to start collecting stars on your first visit, the art walls are the answer. The Hunt Art scavenger hunt tasks Players with identifying specific objects, called Glyphs, hidden within the artwork around the venue. Once you spot them, you log them at Hunt Art kiosks to earn stars on the Level99 leaderboard. It sounds simple, and it is, but scanning every mural with fresh eyes knowing something is hidden inside changes how you see the whole space.

Featured Artists at Level99 Disney Springs

Each Level99 location selects regional artists to represent the local area, alongside a broader national and international roster. Every artist installed their work themselves, and the pieces include easter eggs, surprising details, and moments designed to reward a second look.

The two Central Florida artists are Naomi Haverland of Orlando, whose bright, realism-meets-zany-subject style brings a “Work Hard, Play Harder” energy to the space, and Juan Travieso of Lakeland, whose colliding textures and geometric-meets-organic compositions reward players who stop and look closely. Both fit the Level99 environment perfectly.

Other Florida artists featured include Alex Yanes of Miami, whose collaged characters and hand-finished woodwork bring an iconic, tactile quality to the walls. Danny Doya, also of Miami, places classic subjects against graphic backgrounds in a way that encourages guests to see familiar things differently. Sydney Prusso, known as Syd Bloom, is based in Largo. Brian Butler and Taylor Smith, who goes by Dreamweaver, represent Miami and Tampa respectively.

Rounding out the featured highlights, Matt Moore of Charlotte puts his layered, nostalgic-meets-modern work at the arena’s entrance, designed specifically to signal to every guest walking in that they are leaving the outside world behind. It works. Brian Lewis, known as JEKS ONE from Greensboro, uses light and realism to challenge expectations throughout the space. Jeff Huntington, known as Jahru, brings electric movement to the interior from his base in Annapolis.

The international roster adds Tirso Paz Sans, known as Bublegum, from Lugo, Spain, whose filigree style and ornamental layering adds flow and movement through the venue’s corridors. Dawid Paradowski, known as Woskerski, brings the London perspective to the lineup.

The full roster of artists whose work appears at Level99 Disney Springs includes Tony Diaz (Ripe Mind) of New Orleans, Sophy Tuttle of Boston, Ernest D’Elia of Milbury, Massachusetts and Chicago, Adam O’Day of Abington, Massachusetts, Lauren Young Smith of Los Angeles, Jerel Dye of Boston, Jason Naylor of Brooklyn, Matt Corrado of Rockville, Maryland, Thomas Turner of Atlanta, Jill King of Milwaukee, and James Peterson of Los Angeles.

The Building Itself Is Part of the Art

Before you even walk through the doors, Level99 makes a statement. The exterior features a giant version of the Level99 logo called a Velogon, lit with dynamic lighting effects that will be visible from across Disney Springs West Side. The symbol is a topographic representation of a mountain peak, representing a player’s journey as they develop skills and climb the leaderboard. Inside, a two-story illuminated bar serves as the centerpiece of the venue. Located near Cirque du Soleil’s Drawn to Life theater and across from House of Blues, the venue anchors the West Side in a way Disney Quest never quite did.

Walking through Level99 without playing a single game would still be worth the time just to look at the walls. The art is not background noise. It earns your attention, and the Hunt Art system gives you a reason to stop and actually study each piece instead of rushing past to the next challenge room. For families visiting multiple times, and Level99 is absolutely built for repeat visits, the art is the gift that keeps giving. You will find something new every time.

Level99 is open at Disney Springs West Side starting June 29, 2026. Hours are 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily, with Friday hours extended to 11:00 PM and Saturday opening at 10:00 AM. Tickets start at $30 for 1.5 hours of play time. For the full breakdown of pricing, games, food, and whether it is worth your money, read our complete Level99 Disney Springs review.
