Doug Jones

Coming September 2025

The Ella Sharp Museum welcomes a new exhibit curated by Jackson’s own Doug Jones – artist, educator, and leader in the movement for Equitable Art. With over 60 large-scale public art projects across Southeast Michigan, Jones blends community development, mental health, and collaborative creativity to drive social change through the arts. A Windgate Fellow and Cranbrook MFA graduate, Jones has been recognized by the American Institute of Architects and the Detroit Design 139 Biennial for his transformative work. This exhibit will highlight his pro-social, inclusive approach to art-making, emphasizing the power of collaboration, material exploration, and equitable recognition for all participants.
