In this episode of "Hub City Now" host Tyrone Tony Reed Jr. interviewed Melinda Hearn Reid, executive director of the Jackson Arts Council. Reid spoke about the “Mayor’s Collection of Masterpieces,” which will run year-long with rotating pieces. The first gallery will feature Kindergarten to 8th grade students and run through the spring. The second gallery will feature 9th to 12th grade students and run in the fall. The theme will be “For the Love of Jackson.” Featured artists will be recognized at the city council meetings in April and October. Submissions, which are limited to no more than six, can be made by teachers between March 8 through March 15 and teachers can drop off the artwork between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at Jackson City Hall, located at 101 E. Main Street, Jackson, Tenn. Reid also spoke about the Mayor’s Public Art initiative, which is an initiative that seeks to exponentially grow the number of public art installations to include murals, sculptures and other mediums across Jackson over the next four years. The public art initiative also seeks to engage more artists, both established and emerging, in the work of creative place-making. Art initiative projects include three downtown murals and downtown store window decorations at the holidays. The first mural, “Love Your Neighborhood” was designed by Courtney Searcy and can be found on Highland Avenue in the lot between The Blacksmith Restaurant and Grubbs Grocery. The second mural, “Unity,” was designed by 9-year-old Ava Ingle and can be found on the Madison County Courthouse lawn. The third mural was designed by Jonathan and Sarah Cagle and can be found on the Southwest Tennessee Development District building in downtown Jackson. If you are interested in learning more about the art initiative or would like to submit a proposal, visit jacksontn.gov under the mayor’s office section.
