Our sixth Great Art Hunt was a hit! Teams walked and drove all over downtown Macon trying to solve the clues and win the prizes. Along the way, they enjoyed seeing all the amazing public art in our beautiful downtown. Some even discovered new shops and restaurants they didn’t know about. One team even came from 200 miles away just to do the hunt!

A new addition to this year’s hunt was adding a little bit of information about the art to each mural and sculpture. While hunting, people learned about the artists, what the sculptures were made of, whether the murals were from the Macon Mural Festival, and other interesting facts.

In addition to being a fun weekend of art and community, the event also raised money for our art classes, gallery, pottery studio and other art programs in the coming year. We so appreciate everyone who bought a ticket or sponsored the event.

If you couldn’t make it to the hunt this year, you can still support art programs in Macon! Donate now: https://www.the567center.org/donate

We found a mysterious message in a bottle today, and the script reads as follows:

📜 “To the dear soul reading this, it’s not too late. Should your heart desire an artistic elixir, look no further. For this weekend alone, you will find 3 such specials hidden along First Street. Should you so choose to partake, chart your course… if ye be of age! But, be warned… wait until Monday, and you’ll find these sparks of inspiration to be no more.” 📜

This Saturday and Sunday only, try all 3 specials to celebrate The Great Art Hunt with us!

🎨 Hotel Forty Five — Hopes and Dreams
🖌️ Just Tap’d — Paint the Town Red
🖼️ Switch Macon — Starry Night Spritz

A toast 🍻 to some of our neighbors and friends along First Street. Cheers to you for helping us add some extra whimsy to The Great Art Hunt this weekend!
