Public Art Initiative

The Mayor's Public Art Initiative was launched in fall of 2019, with the installation of the Love Your Neighborhood Mural at the junction of North Highland Avenue and College Street and the Unity Mural at the corner of Liberty and Main Street in downtown Jackson. The public art initiative also seeks to engage more artists, both established and emerging, in the work of creative place-making. Most recently the City Council approved a contract with Our Jackson Home to manage public art. If you are interested in being involved visit Our Jackson Home.
