Mural Painting

Local artist, Raymond Sturkey, will hold a series of community meetings to brainstorm how residents want to represent themselves in the crosswalk mural, which they will help paint. Ray will create the designs, and guide ten residents in painting three East Augusta Story murals in the crosswalks.

Community Meetings:

February 18th @ W.S. Hornsby Middle School || March 18th @ Oak Point || April 15th @ Magnolia Court Apartments

City District 1 Commissioner Jordan Johnson, Augusta’s Parks and Recreation Department and the Greater Augusta Arts Council will hold a celebratory block party after completion of the crosswalk murals. The community brainstorming meetings, the residents engaged in creating the artwork, and the  block party are designed to build excitement and community investment in the new, safe crossing in ways that infrastructure improvements alone would not.

Block Party:

June 10th on East Boundary near Telfair Street

Mural Painting:
