In 2025, Friends of PHXJAX made significant strides in advancing its mission of regenerative development in Jacksonville’s North Springfield neighborhood. Through a diverse range of free community events—including makers markets, affordable artist studios, housing workshops in partnership with LISC Jacksonville, health and wellness initiatives, and youth programs—we fostered a thriving, inclusive environment where creativity, economic opportunity, and well-being intersect. By supporting local artists, entrepreneurs, and residents, we laid the groundwork for sustainable growth, reinforcing our commitment to affordable housing, business incubation, and cultural enrichment. This year’s initiatives reflect our dedication to building a vibrant, resilient community where arts, innovation, and collective transformation flourish.
