Jacksonville was named a Top 25 Arts Destinations in the nation by American Style Magazine.
Jacksonville’s local art and music scenes are alive with festivals and events. Everything from the historic Florida Theatre, to Veterans Memorial Arena, to the Robert E. Jacoby Symphony Hall, your musical options range from classical, to country, rock-and-roll, and everything in between.
The Jacksonville Jazz Festival is the second largest in the United States and the FSCJ Artist Series has been bringing Broadway and Off-Broadway productions to Northeast Florida for more than 50 years. Art lovers can also view Renaissance masterpieces at the Cummer Museum, see contemporary works at MOCA, or visit local galleries to support up-and-coming artists.
Art is everywhere in Jacksonville, we have art in public places, some sanctioned and some not, with more murals going up every week.
