HOW ART PROJECTS ARE CHOSEN

We partner with the City of Jackson on all public art projects. We use the following steps outlined in their Public Art Strategic Plan to commission new public art:

1. Projects are chosen by City of Jackson’s Public Art Commission 

2. Selection Committees are formed for each project (made up of public art commissioners, artists & community members)

3. Artist call is released

4. Artists submit applications in response to open call

5. Selection Committees review & recommend artists

6. Public Art Commission approves artists and designs

7. Artwork created & installed

8. Public unveiling
   

If you’d like to be part of choosing public art, sign up to be on a selection committee via the link below:

Our Jackson Home facilitates ArtWorks public art workshops throughout the year for local artists, design professionals, and creatives who are interested in transforming our shared spaces through art. No past public art experience is needed to attend! Subscribe to our newsletter to stay in the loop about future ArtWorks events:

Artist in Residence

The purpose of Our Jackson Home’s Artist in Residence program was to provide these artists and storytellers with opportunities to practice their craft and improve our community, connecting them to funding, resources, and a platform to create their work right here in Jackson, Tennessee.

featured films

Our Jackson Home desires to tell the stories of our community, and one way that has been done is through films. We have created several featured films over the years by local videographers. These films range from documentary to a film version of Porchfest.
