Jackson’s downtown streets welcome fourteen temporary murals during JH Public Art’s annual WildWalls event. Beginning June 30, blank alley walls are transformed into an open-air gallery that runs through September. Local artists collaborated with science communities and JH Public Art to create art that tells visual ecological stories that become interactive using mobile devices. This art gallery is outside a traditional venue, making WildWalls accessible to thousands of people daily.

This year’s WildWalls will kick-off on Saturday, May 21, with a live steamroller print party co-presented with the Arts Association at The Virginian starting at noon and followed by an auction of the works created that day to benefit WildWalls conservation partners. Local artists Ben Roth, Ava Reynolds, and Susan Grinels will be joined by visiting artist Josh Winkler at this event, which is a first for JH Public Art. The artists have been paired with local eco-organizations and are tasked with creating a new - giant! - block print responding to recent environmental research. These prints (measuring 4’ wide) will be steamrolled that day and the prints will be both auctioned off and wheat-pasted in downtown Jackson to spark wonder all summer long.

By siting artworks in iconic public settings, WildWalls aims to reach broad audiences with conservation messages through public art.
