Do you have an idea for a mural in downtown Augusta?

This is your chance to make the idea become a reality. Maybe you're not an artist, but you are a creative and have this awesome concept that you've just been ready to share. This is your chance!

Talk with some of the people behind the scenes to execute you're idea. You will have an opportunity to meet some local muralists and representatives from organizations working behind the scenes to make downtown Augusta come to life.

This will be an informal, questions and answer based meetup. As a guest, you are open to ask the panel anything from how to find opportunities to create public art to logistics of creating them.

Here is a list of people that will be on the panel:
- Pax Bobrow - Project Manager at Great Augusta Arts Council
- Jeremey Rueggeberg - Co-founder of Beautify Augusta
- Aort Reed - Muralist, Visual Artist and Augusta University Alumni
- Jason Craig - Muralist and Graphic Designer
- Addison Niday - Muralist (restores murals as well) and Illustrator

This Mural Arts panel will take place on Friday, August 4, 10:00 a.m. in Washington Hall Room 200 at Augusta University on Summerville Campus.
