They were highlighted at the 2025 Florida Association of Public Art Professionals conference for standing out in creativity and impact.

All four were created through the city’s Art in Public Places Program, led by the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville.

One sculpture in LaVilla honors the Johnson brothers and their hymn Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing. Another project, Legends, uses digital projection mapping to light up the Legends Center.

In Stockton Park, a ballerina-inspired sculpture celebrates the life of Allison Brundick Haramis. And under the Roosevelt/Edgewood underpass, sculptural lighting and a mural brighten up the space.

City leaders say public art brings people together and helps communities feel like home.
