JH Public Art Community Artists work across existing agencies and programs including conservation, physical and behavioral health, transportation, pedestrian safety, environmental sustainability, and civic planning. We interact with people where they gather at events like the People’s Market, and in parks and neighborhoods to reach diverse groups, underserved populations, and broad swaths of our community.

This we know: the act of collective artmaking generates feelings of self worth, happiness, and productivity.

Our Community Artists facilitate arts-based experiences to gather people, teach them arts skills, and to offer a sense of belonging as an antidote to those who feel isolated and unheard.

COMMUNITY ARTIST GOALS

• Make art with residents where they live, work, and play to reduce stress, increase social interactions, engaging the public in the public artmaking process;

• Create art in collaboration with community groups to improve our community’s physical and mental health, increase pedestrian safety, and beautify utilitarian areas; and,

• Change the way our community develops public spaces to focus on more equitable and inclusive designs.
