ON THE STREET<br />
By MARGARET WOODARD<br />
Executive Director,<br />

Development Authority<br />
Graffiti<br />
is not public art<br />
We are lucky in downtown Augusta to have agencies that<br />
promote and sponsor public art and a group of very talented<br />
artists who make it happen. Public art enhances the<br />
quality of life for our residents and tells our visitors that<br />
we are unique and embrace our sense of place and community pride.<br />
The murals being completed on exterior building facades throughout<br />
the Broad Street corridor are a great example of the rewards of a successful<br />
public art program.<br />
