A century-old tunnel in Downtown Jacksonville, located at Union Terminal Warehouse on East Union Street, has been transformed into the city's newest public art installation, "Duuuval Walls." This "mural jam" event, which took place over the weekend of July 11-12, 2026, involved 25 artists decorating 600 feet of wall space. The project is valued at more than six figures and primarily features artists with ties to Duval County.
Curator Kady Yellow described "Duuuval Walls" as a placemaking effort, emphasizing the city's investment in its artists through resources and creative freedom. The murals are situated along the future Emerald Trail on the east side of the historic Union Terminal Warehouse. This initiative aims to highlight the ongoing revitalization of Downtown Jacksonville and create meaningful community spaces that encourage connection through local creativity.
