“A Moment in Time”, a visualization of 200 Years of Jackson & Madison County history, will be unveiled to the public at a reception at City Hall on October 2 at 10 a.m.
In January 2022, artists from across the region submitted proposals with his or her vision to
commemorate Jackson and Madison Count’s 200-year anniversary.
After a competitive interview process, artists Lendon Noe and Caleb O’Connor were chosen to complete paintings that represent the history of Jackson and Madison County.
The artists used the Bicentennial Milestones book as a resource to inspire their work.
Noe has completed 37 canvasses and mixed media exhibits that will be permanently displayed on the second floor of Jackson City Hall.
Her gallery features items that emphasize the themes explored throughout the Bicentennial year-long celebration including – healthcare, transportation, education, arts, entertainment, religion, medicine and more.
Noe is a Jackson native where she retired as a professor of art at Lambuth University after 28 years.
“For the last 16 months, I’ve been privileged to work on a ‘Visualization of 200 years of Jackson-Madison County History’,” says Noe. “My personal focus has been to highlight what it has been like for an ordinary individual making their home here.”
Legacy projects are made possible by West Tennessee Healthcare, Jackson Energy Authority, City of Jackson and Madison County.
