Public Art 101: Turning Studio Practice into Public Impact
May 8th | 5:30pm | theco

​​Ever wondered how to get your artwork featured in public spaces—like murals, sculptures, or installations around town?

​The UrbanArts Commission (UAC) is joining us by leading "Public Art 101: Turning Studio Practice into Public Impact," a down-to-earth workshop designed to help Jackson-area artists learn how to find and apply for public art opportunities.

​This session will walk you through the basics—what kinds of projects are out there, how to read an open call, and what makes a strong application. They'll break down the difference between RFQs and RFPs, and show you how to use platforms like CaFÉ, Submittable, CODAworx, and PublicArtist.org without getting overwhelmed. You’ll also get tips on how to learn the platforms using free tools like YouTube and Perplexity so you can feel more confident before you apply.

​Whether you’ve never applied for public art or just want to sharpen your approach, this workshop will give you the tools, tips, and encouragement to get started.

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.

Our projects

Our Jackson Home is partnered with the City of Jackson to install new artwork. Check out some of the cool projects we’ve worked on so far.
