This week on Arts Weekly, Host Brenda Durant took a break from the usual special guests and interviewed.... herself! Brenda recently took a field trip to Suwanee, Georgia, with the Augusta Public Art Advisory Panel, to learn about the public art program there. They looked at sculptures in the Suwanee town center, learned about their sculpture festival, and spoke with city Representatives about their festivals and events that bring the city together around their shared public artworks.

In this episode, Brenda explains the field trip, and also talks about the newly-finalized Public Art Master Plan for Augusta. We are ramping up to start making art a part of the community in an even bigger way here in Augusta, and can't wait to share it!

Brenda also covered upcoming arts events, so you can plan out your calendars and have some fun!
