Design Dash

January 17-18 | SIGN UP by Jan 3

Are you a West Tennessee artist ready to be involved in Jackson’s public art scene? This is your chance to leave your mark on downtown Jackson! Our Jackson Home, in partnership with the City of Jackson, is inviting artist teams of 2 to sign up for the Design Dash - a new public art design challenge that will result in one team getting $11,000 to install downtown’s newest mural.

Team sign ups open Nov. 18.

Why Participate?

• Collaborate: Work alongside local artists and designers, and receive guidance from professional muralists Whitney Herrington and Kim Radford during the event.

• Showcase Your Talent: Get your work seen by the community and art professionals, and leave your mark on Downtown Jackson.

• Work with Your Neighbors: Offer the community a window into your creative process of designing a mural.

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. We continue these same efforts now in partnership with the City of Jackson.

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.
