OK, so Jacksonville isn’t SoHo or the Paseo in Paris…but you don’t have to leave Northeast Florida to find great art, either.

Free parking is available after 6 p.m. all over Downtown, including the Duval Street Parking Garage (Duval/Main). Hemming Plaza is a good starting point for your maiden Art Walk voyage. Typically, more than 50 stations line the plaza with jewelry, clothing, and art. Right across the street from Hemming, the Main Library and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) open their doors. The Library is great place to view exclusively local art. The MOCA features changing exhibits as well as an impressive collection of contemporary art in its permanent exhibit. The Art Center Cooperative on Adams, a non-profit entity created by artists for artists, is another great place to meet artists and learn about their work. If you’re thirsty, you can’t miss the huge crowd gathered outside the Burrito Gallery, another hot spot on Adams Street.
You can find a map of the galleries at any of the venues, including Art Walk Headquarters at 100 N. Laura Street. Or, print out a map with detailed information about each month’s specific events and performers at www.DowntownJacksonville.org.
