Section 1.5 – Jacksonville: A City-Sized Canvas
Speaking of outdoor murals, head east to Jacksonville where nearly every mural on the Art Walk: Mega Mural Magic tour occupies an entire building. Sky-high paintings, giant creatures and vivid geometric shapes join a chrome man who appears to be mid-flight and a dance panorama depicting the seven deadly sins. Each mural stop on this scavenger hunt walking tour is accompanied by trivia tidbits while guiding your clients to the most Insta-worthy locations.
Also in Jacksonville, visitors will find the Museum of Contemporary Art, presenting groundbreaking exhibitions and programs that have elevated the city as a regional hub for the arts. MOCA’s collections and exhibits enhance understanding of contemporary art, with an emphasis on works created from 1960 to the present.
The city is also home to the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, with more than 5,000 works of art, including works of the late Medieval and Renaissance periods, European paintings spanning the 17th to the 19th centuries and permanent collections of Florida and American art.

Step into something unexpected ✨
‘Nari Ward: Great Greetings’ transforms the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville’s Atrium into a shimmering world of gold and silver, created from disposable emergency blankets. What is meant for survival becomes something striking. What is disposable becomes dazzling. The result is immersive, reflective, and unlike anything else in North Florida right now.
Created with the support of students from the University of North Florida, the installation invites you to consider how language shapes the way we connect.
