Art in the Courthouse is a new community outreach program taking place inside the Clay County Courthouse.
Created in partnership with local art groups, schools, our county, civic groups and our judiciary, this program provides space inside the Clay County Courthouse in Green Cove Springs for artwork to be displayed and enjoyed. Our goal is to make the courthouse a more inviting place to visit.
Displays are on the 4th Floor Art in the Courthouse Gallery wall from one to three months. Collections are curated by the invited art group or school and are displayed at the discretion of the Clerk of Court/Comptroller and the Chief Administrative Judge.

Thank you for your interest in the Art in the Courthouse program. We appreciate the artists’ willingness to take part in this program which features their artwork displayed in a public venue for the good of the community. Please contact Clerk of Court and Comptroller’s Office Public Information Officer Mary Justino by email at justinom@clayclerk.com with any additional questions or requests.
With the inaugural year (2022) of the Art in the Courthouse program now “in the books”, we look forward to the many exhibits 2023 has in store for us. We remain grateful to all the art groups who help make this effort possible, some returning for a second year! We appreciate your partnership and look forward to many more successful shows.
