A Decatur non-profit is teaming up with the City of Decatur for a beautification effort in the community.

Jerry Johnson is the Executive Director of the Decatur Area Arts Council and explains the revitalization of Jasper Street is among the target areas the Arts Council is working on.

According to Johnson, they are also working with the City on sprucing up some electrical boxes around the community. In total, there is about 12.

Ideas and themes for the art projects taken up by the Arts Council are coming from local stakeholders and there is also the ability for the artists to be creative through those ideas.

This is a series of projects for the Decatur Arts Council. Johnson says for now they do not need artists for these projects but they may need artists in the future. He encourages following the Decatur Area Arts Council Facebook page by searching 'Decatur Arts'.
