The City of Jackson has started its FY 2025–2026 Departmental Budget Hearings, where departments present budgets, outline priorities, and discuss how taxpayer dollars will be spent. Hearings are open to the public, and residents can also watch live on the City’s Facebook page.

In the heart of Jackson, Alexis Noble is redefining the city’s creative landscape through Vibe Studio Jackson and The Mashup—two ventures dedicated to uplifting Black and Brown artists. Located in Southwest Jackson, her studio is more than a gallery; it's a space of possibility, where art becomes a tool for community, culture, and change. Through youth partnerships, inclusive programming, and a deep belief in the power of creative expression, Noble is building a future where art is accessible, transformative, and deeply rooted in the people it represents.
