The Jacksonville Area Museum is seeking entries for its “Building with Brick – The Art of LEGO” exhibit that will run from December 2025 through February 2026.
This fourth-annual exhibit features original and LEGO kit creations from all ages. Prizes based on public voting will be awarded in five categories: Kit Build for all ages, Jacksonville 200th (to commemorate the city’s bicentennial) for all ages, Original Build ages 13 and up, Original Build ages 8 – 12, and Original Build ages 0 – 7.
This exhibit is one of the most popular events each year at the museum. The public will be encouraged to vote on their favorite builds, with $100 LEGO gift cards awarded to the top vote-getters.
To submit a build, participants can drop off their creations by November 23, 2025 during normal visiting hours at the museum: Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. Only builds submitted by November 23 are eligible for voting. Participants will be asked to fill out a temporary loan agreement. Children under 18 must have a parent or guardian’s signature. Call (217) 408-1197 with any questions, or contact the museum.
