Today we honored the past and celebrated the future of LaVilla heritage at the Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing Park (@levsparkjax) ribbon cutting.

The Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville was honored to administer the integration of “Calling it Done” at Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing Park, a truly meaningful public art piece honoring the Johnson Brothers and their hymn that speaks of faith and freedom. This sculpture serves a vital purpose in cultural storytelling.

Through a public-private partnership, our team collaborated with the Jessie Ball duPont Fund and nationally renowned artist Brian Owens (@brianowensart) to bring this compelling work to life.

The new sculpture by Brian Owens, titled “Calling it Done,” is a departure from the serious tone of traditional memorials as it transports the viewer into a shared moment of musical satisfaction and joy between the Johnson brothers, surrounded by a cast stone piano featuring the lyrics to the hymn.

Thank you Mayor Deegan and the @cityofjax for their commitment to investing in #moreartculture 💜 Council President Ron Salem, thank you for your leadership for over the last year.

Juneteenth is Black Liberation. On June 19, 1865, news of emancipation finally reached enslaved African Americans in Texas, marking the end of slavery in the last Confederate state.

In observance of this day, please note that our office is closed today. We encourage everyone to unite in reflection, educate those around you or yourself, and continue the work toward a future of equality and opportunity for all. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay
