WE HEART ART.

Like, all of it. Visual, music, literary, performance...bring it on.

These various forms of artistic expression come together to portray our little big town's unique cultural identity. The City of Jefferson Cultural Art Commission exists to promote, collaborate, and educate our residents and visitors on local art efforts and opportunities.
