Art In Public Places Gallery
About The Program
Jacksonville’s Art in Public Places program was legislated in 1997 with the City of Jacksonville’s Art in Public Place Ordinance, which requires that 0.75 percent of construction costs of eligible public building projects be dedicated to the purchase of public art. Our city’s program is one of the broadest to launch all at once, with 28 projects mandated for its first three years of implementation. The program is directed by the city’s Art in Public Places Committee, which appoints an Art Selection Committee for each project.
To date, nearly $3 million has been generated for projects, and applications have been received from throughout the country and around the world.
