Collaborative Community: Arts, Education, Sustainability

Many of these programs are affiliated with UGA. Just take a look at this list of grant awardees and you will quickly see just how well our local community entities work hand in hand towards similar goals. Whether it's sustainability, education for the arts or any other number of projects that benefit the Athens community at large, we are lucky to live in a community that values these partnerships and continues to use them to better our community. If you make it to the festivities this weekend, be sure to check out the latest public art installation via AthFest Educates--a collaboration between Clarke County art students and artist David Hale. A beautiful mural to add to our city's fascade and another fine example of community collaboration. There's a dedication event on Friday and it's free.
