With the Arts Craft Guild, he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago with mentor George Neal and fellow young artists Eldzier Cortor, Charles Sebree and Charles White. Jones joined this group of Chicago artists involved in the founding of the South Side Community Art Center in Bronzeville in the early 1940s.
