APP 
Values
Public Art adds to the cultural landscape of the City by fostering a visual identity.
Public Art is accessible to diverse audiences including residents and visitors of all ages.
Public Art enhances the stature of the City through the commitment to artists and their disciplines as vital elements of community dynamics and economic development.
Public Art is a catalyst for unique partnerships between individuals, businesses, and cultural organizations.
The APP program works in partnership with a wide variety of stakeholders to scope, design and realize public art projects, which celebrate Jacksonville’s cultural assets, improves public infrastructure, and creates safer spaces.
Public Art programming also has clear ties to economic development through increased property values, cultural tourism, business attraction and human capital desiring 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.
