PLUS Jacksonville poet Lynn Skapyak Harlin! Come out for the Southeast Sister Cities Reading Tour‘s first Jacksonville event, and bring friends.

Bab’s Lab is located in CoRK Arts District North, at 603 King St., Jacksonville, FL 32204.

This event is part of Public Art Week 2018 – Building a Better Community.

Public Art Week (PAW) is an annual, week-long initiative that celebrates Jacksonville’s public art and highlights the benefits that are created when investments are made in art that is accessible by all.  It is led by the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville to encourage residents and visitors to explore and engage with works of art that comprise Jacksonville’s rapidly developing artistic and creative landscape.  In addition to advancing the community’s awareness of and engagement with the City of Jacksonville’s official public art collection, PAW also showcases public art initiatives led by private entities and individuals.

PAW supports the Cultural Council’s role of ensuring broad accessibility and public engagement with the arts culturally, socially, educationally, and economically.  It also supports the Cultural Council’s role of advocating for public and private financial support for Jacksonville’s arts and cultural sector.

Residents and visitors of Jacksonville are encouraged to explore their artistic side during Public Art Week by capturing images of their favorite murals, sculptures, mosaics, or memorials and then share them through social media.  Remember to use #JAXPAW2018 when sharing your photos and tag the Cultural Council (@moreartculture).
