About
Overview
The Greater Augusta Arts Council seeks ten leasable, pre-existing outdoor sculptures to be installed for two years in Downtown Augusta, GA. All ten sculpture sites will have a 4'x4'x4" concrete base and are fully accessible. The sites are spaced to promote walking from one sculpture to another, creating a walking trail. Other public art installations already in place will augment the experience.
Promotion & Activation
All works will be heavily promoted as an arts destination attraction with online, printed, and in ads. A digital walking tour will be created and all artists will be requested to submit content to be placed in that online platform. The Greater Augusta Arts Council will regularly bring public attention to the Augusta Sculpture Trail through in-person and online events and will promote the availability of sculptures for purchase.
