The power of public art and beauty is amazing. While I’ve always appreciated beautiful murals and artwork, I never realized how powerful it can truly be until I moved back to my hometown.

In today's podcast with Marian McLemore of Flint Energies, we discuss the Rural Murals grant program and how it is helping to revitalize rural Georgia. If you are interested in applying for the grant, please visit the Rural Murals page to find out more about what areas are eligible and how to proceed.

I will never look at a mural or public art installation the same again, and after listening to our chat today, I bet you won't either! If you go to one of the towns we mention in today's podcast, take a picture with the mural(s) in that town and share it with us!
