MORE ART. MORE CULTURE. MORE IMPACT.
The public art collection has over 100 artworks valued at $8.425 million.
Over 57% of public art has been completed by Northeast Florida artists.
The APP program works in partnership with a wide variety of stakeholders to scope, design and implement public art projects, which celebrate Jacksonville’s cultural assets, improves public infrastructure, and increases tourism.
Public Art programming also has clear ties to economic development through increased property values, destination building, business attraction and a rich quality of life.
In addition to administering the Art in Public Places Program for the City of Jacksonville, the Cultural Council’s Public Art Department also offers a variety of public and private consulting and curation services. We champion the process from ideation to installation with the understanding that a variety of skills, personalities, regulations and interests contribute to the collective effort.
