Artist Talk: Jerome Meadows

Jerome Meadows, lead artist for the Ed Johnson Memorial, will delve into the importance of public art and its unique purpose within our shared spaces and places.

Jerome will reflect on his 29-year career as a public space designer to discuss the continuous shifts in means, methods, and materials of the art form; how public art reflects the diversity of cultures and locations; and how it serves the need of a specific time, place, and circumstance.

Meadows will speak specifically about his experience designing the Ed Johnson Memorial which recognizes Ed Johnson, his brutal death and sacrifice, honors the heroic and historic efforts of Noah Pardon and Styles Hutchins and commemorates the landmark Supreme Court case that changed the course of American history and civil rights.
