Help us celebrate 20 years of The Center!
In 2027, The Center is celebrating 20 years as Jackson’s hub for the arts, and we want to ring in the new year with a piece of art that feels just as creative, colorful, and community-minded as the place itself. We’re inviting artists from Jackson and the surrounding area to dream up an original design for a commemorative bandana that we’ll share for free with our community as part of our 20th Anniversary celebration.
What does The Center mean to you? Maybe it’s a favorite concert, an experience with one of our Resident Organizations, a night at the park, a gallery opening, or simply a place where you come to see your community. We’re looking for artwork that captures the spirit of The Center: the many artists, organizations, students, audiences, and community members who make this place what it is. Whether you have a polished portfolio or have never submitted artwork before, we want to see what you come up with!
- Public Call to Artists: August 21st
