SUMMARY:A Different Kind of Landscaping
DESCRIPTION:People approach landscaping in many different ways depending on their circumstances. In the case of Shawana Brooks\, development director at Jacksonville Arts & Music School\, and visual artist Roosevelt Watson III\, they came up with an ingenious way to dress up their yard and communicate with neighbors and the public-at-large. As renters\, they wanted something flexible that also spoke to their artistic and creative sensibilities. Also\, their house is situated one block from a Superfund site where hazardous waste contaminated the area\, making growing their own food risky for their family’s health. \nTogether\, they created the 6 Ft. Away Gallery\, a pop-up public art space created by Brooks in response to the pandemic and the lack of opportunities for African-American artists. The gallery features Watson’s “Waymaker” series honoring the legacy of local and national contributions of lesser-known African-Americans and their allies. \nRegister today for the program at 6 p.m. Tuesday\, June 30.
