The Duval County Courthouse Plaza
Local Artist Assistant Position

Duval County Courthouse Plaza project will transform the three-acre lawn in front of the courthouse into a safe active urban park with multiple spaces for small events, free speech and sculptures. The entire plaza will be a dignified, memorable and iconic work of art with artist-designed elements such as earth berms, pathways, bollards, shade structures and lighting. 
The artist selection process:
To find the best qualified artist for the design, the Art in Public Places committee conducted a national search for this project and the assigned Art Selection Panel for the Duval County Courthouse Plaza Design selected three of the most experienced and prominent public artists in the United States. Each artist will submit a schematic design proposal in the spring of 2021. The winning proposal will be chosen after dialogue with the Jacksonville community. 
​
The three finalists for the Duval County Courthouse plaza project are:
  • Cliff Garten, Cliff Garten Studio - Venice, CA
  • Walter Hood, Hood Design Studio - Oakland, CA
  • Matt Niebuhr and Dave Dahlquist RDG Art Studio - Des Moines, IA
