The first sculpture “Impractical Hardware” was installed Monday, January 11th at 10th and Broad Street. The artist, Harry McDaniel, is from Asheville, NC.

The top ten sculptures were selected from 120 submissions and the pieces will remain a part of the Sculpture Trail for two years. A digital walking tour is being produced by Otocast, that can be accessed from any mobile device. This tool will help visitors learn specifics about each work of art while they explore the Augusta Sculpture Trail. It will include a variety of mobile activities that will be added over the two year installation time, including “badges” that can be earned by participants. Sculpture Trail highlights include: • 10 Public Sculptures from Nationally Renowned Artists • Feb. 6, 2021 Celebration and Unveiling • Walking Tour App with Info on Each Sculpture and Artist • A Perfect Social Distancing Attraction for Groups, Families and Visitors • Events for 2 Years tied to the Augusta Sculpture Trail locations • Sculpture Trail Open January 2021- January 2023 For more information about the Augusta Sculpture Trail click the link in bio. #loveaugusta #augustaarts #augustasculpturetrail
Golden Blocks Project is a project spearheaded by Golden Blocks Project is a project spearheaded by the Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History and the Greater Augusta Arts Council. Named the Golden Blocks Project, it refers to the historic nickname of the corridor of business and industry located on or near Campbell and Gwinnett Streets. Today, Campbell and Gwinnett Streets are James Brown and Laney-Walker Boulevards. During the time of segregation, the area nicknamed the Golden Blocks was the heart of Augusta’s black business community. Federal “Red Line” policies prevented citizens from receiving bank mortgages within certain areas that were predominantly non-white populations, and businesses elsewhere in the city were allowed to discriminate against black patrons due to Jim Crow era laws. In the Laney Walker and Bethlehem neighborhoods, black-owned banks, insurance companies, theaters and other businesses worked to offset this discrimination and thrived, creating a strong sense of community.
