CCAD Art Walk
About the project:
- A new partnership between Valdosta Main Street and the Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts is drawing attention to the Valdosta City Center Arts District and providing year-round opportunities for Valdosta residents to engage the District. Funded by a More Than Murals grant through the Georgia Council for the Arts, the partnership promotes strong connections between artists, arts organizations, downtown businesses, and the public.
- The one-mile Art Walk outlines a path of sidewalk art and other public art along Webster Street, N. Ashley Street, E. Hill Avenue, and N. Patterson Street. Sidewalk art was painted by artist Taylor Shaw, who also recently created a few other art pieces on Main Street. Stanchions strategically placed along the Art Walk path provide a QR code that directs people to the CCAD webpage and upcoming events taking place in the District
About the City Center Arts District:
