JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – New art is coming to life in River City just in time for the summer.
Students at the University of North Florida are beautifying local parks with new sculptures.
“If we don’t have art, I mean we have nothing. Art is everything. It’s all around us,” said Kori Sares, a senior at UNF.
Sares is one of eight students who will be installing their personally designed sculptures in James Weldon Johnson and Seaside Sculpture Parks over the next two weeks.

On May 3, 1901, the Great Fire swept through downtown Jacksonville, levelling 2,386 buildings. The City immediately commenced the most ambitious re-building effort ever seen in the South since Atlanta rose from Sherman’s ashes.
Jacksonville has been contemplating its urban growth for the past 120 years, and yet, still hasn’t found its true focus. Consensus hasn’t been reached on any preferred priorities.
Since 9/11, and accelerating after the Great Recession of 2007-2009, Jacksonville has been romanced by countless proposals, initiatives and promising development programs – most of which either did not or have not yet, come to fruition. Usually these varied proposals were pitched as “game-changers”. They were always promoted to be inter-related (launch one and others will follow, we promise). Many were touted as must-have saviors.
