Meet Jeffrey!

In 2021, Jeffersonville got a new resident! Jeffrey, a small fish working his way from the Ohio River through Downtown Jeffersonville. The Jeffrey sculptures take you on a 1-mile Sculptural Scavenger Hunt down Spring Street and into the NoCo Arts and Cultural District.

Each sculpture is accompanied by a poem written by Ava Gleitz which can be read below and on the plaques that accompany the Jeffrey sculptures. Amanda Hoback is the sculpture and creator of the Jeffrey character.

BUT JEFFREY NEEDS A STORY! What can I write about?

Does Jeffrey need a friend?

What activity should Jeffrey do next?

Why did Jeffrey leave the Ohio River?

What was Jeffrey like when he was a baby fish?

Let your imagination run wild! Look at the Jeffrey sculptures and write us a story about Jeffrey!

Jeffrey's Map!

Jeffrey Arrives on Land!

Jeffrey loves to swim,
That much is true,
But today he wants to find something different to do!
There are so many places! So many things!
He can’t wait to see what fun this city brings!

Jeffrey Can Dance!

Jeffrey likes dancing!
He’ll dance through the whole town!
He never gets tired of hop! Skip! Jumping around!
His dance moves are great! The first of their kind!
How many other fun things will Jeffrey find?

Jeffrey Flys A Plane!

Jeffrey could soar through the sky,
Brave as can be,
Laughing at all the amazing things he can see!
Up! Up! Up he’d go, flying so high!
But Jeffrey still wonders what else he can try…

Jeffrey Rides a Bicycle!

A fish on a bicycle,
Now that sounds absurd!
But it’s the best thing that Jeffrey has learned!
He’ll zoom through the streets, feel the wind in his fins!
He can’t wait until even more fun begins!

Jeffrey Drives a Dune Buggy on the Moon!

Jeffrey’s journey isn’t over!
He’s gone straight into space!
All this fun on the moon puts a smile on his face.
He can see all the planets! He can wish on a star!
Jeffrey’s adventures have sure taken him far!

Jeffrey Rides a Skateboard!

Jeffrey’s a natural!
He can hardly wait—
To tell all of his friends how he learned to skate!
He’s made up some tricks, and mastered a few!
But still, he’s excited to try something else new!

Jeffrey Drives a Steamboat!

Fresh out of the water,
But now sailing on top!
Jeffrey’s fun on this steamboat will never quite stop!
He’s such a great captain! How did he never know?!
He should have tried this ages ago!

Jeffrey Takes a Break!

Jeffrey’s taking a moment,
Just to relax,
And remember all the fun things that have passed!
He’s gone here and gone there, traveled above and below!
What else does this great town have to show?

Jeffrey is a Rockstar!

Who would have guessed?
Jeffrey’s taken the stage!
His awesome new music has made the front page!
His concert sold out; the tickets are gone!
Now everyone can watch as Jeffrey rocks on!

Jeffrey Dresses Up as a Dragon!

Dressed to perfection,
Jeffrey lets out a roar!
This adventure was unlike any he’d been on before!
He’s seen so much, and made so many friends!
In a city like this, Jeffrey’s fun never ends!
