Something New in 2026
The Art Jam Exhibit
Art Jam doesn't end on May 16! For the first time ever, we're extending the creative energy of Art Jam into a full gallery exhibit — and you're part of it.
Throughout the week leading up to Art Jam and during the event itself, community members, partner organizations, and artists have been creating incredible work. All of that artwork will come together in one place for a special exhibit you won't want to miss.
What will be on display?
- The Message in a Mural — the completed community mural created live on Trescott Street by artist Leigh Bigger and the community during Art Jam
- All community art projects created by partner organizations during Art Jam week and on event day
- Your artwork — pieces created at Art Jam by attendees and submitted to the exhibit
- Work from the Art Jam community sculpture and other collaborative projects
Created something at Art Jam? Let it shine in the exhibit!
If you make something at one of the community art activities on May 16, we'd love to include it in the Art Jam Exhibit! Simply label your piece with your name and bring it inside to Trescott Street Gallery — a volunteer will take care of the rest. Your artwork will be on display from May 27–30, and you're welcome to pick it up anytime during gallery hours throughout the month of June. Every piece adds to the story of what this community created together!
