Jacksonville, FL — Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville sent all the below information out in an email to get people involved in helping design the Courthouse plaza:
HELP US PLAN THE PLAZA!
The Duval County Courthouse Plaza project strives to transform the 3 acre lawn into a civic and artistic space for downtown Jacksonville. In the winter & spring of 2020, a stakeholder group will analyze the opportunities and costs of improvements to develop a scope of work for future artists. Through the City’s Art in Public Places Committee, a team will be commissioned to imagine the plaza as public artwork in the fall of 2020 with construction completed in 2022.

The Duval County Courthouse Plaza is a project of the City of Jacksonville's Art in Public Places (APP) program that is managed by the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville. The $619,000 in art funding results from the City's APP Ordinance that required 0.75% of the original Courthouse construction budget be set aside for public art. The Cultural Council is the local art agency supporting arts organizations and artists in Duval County for the benefit of NE Florida. www.culturalcouncil.org.
