The old Lee & Cates Glass building on Forsyth Street has become the temporary home for a series of portraits saluting iconic Jacksonville musicians.
The building, which has been vacant since a 2003 fire, sits on the edge of the LaVilla neighborhood, which was a center for Black culture during the segregation era, earning it the nickname "Harlem of the South." The portrait project shines a spotlight on Black musicians with strong ties to the city.

What is the role of the Cultural Council to engage and bring awareness? 
As Jacksonville’s local arts agency, the Cultural Council is committed to investing in the arts and culture in the region. One way that we invest in our community is by using a variety of communication vehicles—social media, newsletters, television media, and our website—to spread the word about the incredible creativity that exists here. Creativity is happening around us every day and the Cultural Council is doing our part to ensure that the community knows that artists are producing new work, they are interpreting and documenting these turbulent times through thought-provoking work, and they are entertaining us. Our social media posts often give first-hand accounts about what is happening in our community. Our calendar of events links audiences to our community’s many long-standing arts organizations; in other words, we bring awareness by amplifying the public engagement efforts of the arts and cultural industries of our community.

​
​On Monday, the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville reached out to the mayor's office. Around the country, monuments to the Confederacy were coming down, and the council wanted to start a conversation about doing so here.
As the custodian of the city's public art, it suggested creating a civic panel that could look at removing or recontextualizing the statues.
"The civic panel would unify the community through collectively identifying possibilities for actions toward public artworks such as removal, relocation, renaming, reinvestment, or reinterpretations through signage, or altogether new public artworks,” the letter read.
By Tuesday, the suggestion was a moot point.
