ON THE STREET<br />

By MARGARET WOODARD<br />

Executive Director,<br />

Augusta Downtown<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 />
