22 Apr Public Art – Guided Tours
Public art tours are more than just walks. They’re journeys through creativity, culture, and community. These tours invite people to see their surroundings in a new light, transforming everyday spaces into open-air galleries that tell stories, spark conversations, and inspire connection. By exploring murals, sculptures, and installations together, Arts Lovers not only support artists but also build a shared appreciation for the role that the arts play in shaping our cities. Public art tours make visual art accessible to all, breaking down barriers and encouraging curiosity. They remind us that art isn’t just for museums, but for everyone, everywhere. Whether you’re a visitor or a longtime resident, our public art tours will open your eyes to the beauty that Augusta has to offer.
