Jacksonville Beach Mural Project - Call for Artists

Transform dumpster enclosures into public art. Local artists invited to enhance Jacksonville Beach with vibrant murals.

The Jacksonville Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Public Art Advisory Committee has announced an exciting mural project that invites local artists to transform city-owned dumpster enclosures into public art installations. This innovative initiative aims to turn everyday infrastructure into vibrant creative expressions, enhancing the character and color of community spaces throughout Jacksonville Beach.

This is a unique opportunity for artists to contribute to the shared cultural environment of their community while showcasing their work in highly visible, public spaces. The project recognizes that public art can transform ordinary urban elements into sources of pride and inspiration for residents and visitors alike.

Eligible applicants must reside in Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, or Atlantic Beach to participate in the project. This geographic requirement ensures that the opportunity benefits local talent and keeps the creative process rooted in the community. Artists of all styles and backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

The application deadline for artists is February 13, 2026. This provides a reasonable timeframe for artists to develop their concepts, prepare their applications, and submit all necessary materials. Early submission is recommended to avoid last-minute complications.

This is an excellent opportunity for artists looking to gain public exposure, build their portfolio with large-scale public work, and contribute meaningfully to their community's aesthetic and cultural development. The project supports local creative expression and demonstrates the city's commitment to public art as an essential component of community life.
