Macon Sculpture Walk

Macon Sculpture Walk is a public art program that brings new sculptures to the sidewalks of downtown Macon every year.

The Sculpture Walk was started in 2018 by the Downtown Macon Community Association, thanks to a Downtown Challenge grant from the Community Foundation of Central Georgia.

The 567 Center wishes to thank the Linda Harriett Lane Fund of the Community Foundation of Central Georgia for its support of the sculpture walk.

The Great Art Hunt

The annual Great Art Hunt celebrates all the incredible public art in downtown Macon while raising funds to support all our art programs. This scavenger hunt sends teams exploring all over downtown with clues to find 20 different murals and sculptures. Along the way, they find small pieces of art to keep. Everyone who completes the hunt is also entered into a drawing to win prizes such as a gift certificate for art classes or a weekend at Hotel 45. This year’s hunt will take place June 13 & 14.

The 567 Center installed four legal graffiti walls in the alleys of downtown Macon. These walls provide visual interest to the alleys as well as a place to create. Graffiti artists can create street art without causing damage to buildings, but anyone is welcome to use the walls. School children have painted on the walls, and mural artists have even created temporary art. There's no formal process for painting on the wall--anyone is free to paint on any of the four walls at any time. All they have to do is respect the rules (posted next to the wall) and not paint anything inappropriate. Here are some examples of what the walls have looked like over the past couple of years. If you have any questions about the walls, you can call The 567 Center at (478) 238-6051 or e-mail melissa@the567.org.

The graffiti walls were made possible by the generous support of Mark Thompson and a Downtown Challenge grant through the Community Foundation of Central Georgia.
