TAC in the Community.

“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.”

TAC in the Community

The Art Center’s service to the community earned us the honor of receiving the 2009 Art of Caring Award from HandsOn Jacksonville.
 
We strive to give our time and talents to better our community through both partnerships with local charities and our own privately developed and funded programs.  Our community service projects include but are not limited to:
 

• Murals for non-profit organizations
• Special events to benefit non-profit organizations
• Outreach programs for local children, especially those residing in under-served areas.

 
Some of the events in which TAC members have participated, both as an organization and/or on an individual basis would include:
 

• Art Unleashed, to benefit First Coast No More Homeless Pets
• Empty Bowls, to benefit Second Harvest North Florida
• Sounds of Hope, to benefit Hope Haven Children’s Clinic

 
In October 2009, The Art Center created and hosted its first charity event, Artsy Bras, to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and The Donna Foundation.

Project Murals

n an effort to give back to the community, The Art Center has in the past provided murals free of charge (not including supplies) to enhance the property of non-profit organizations.  Due to the high volume of requests and limited resources, we have implemented a mural request policy.  If you are a 501(c)(3) organization and desire to have a mural, please complete the following form and a board member from TAC will contact you to discuss the terms of the agreement. Download the Mural Request Form Below.
