East Augusta celebrates community block party
AUGUSTA, Ga. –
East Augusta celebrated a block party today, showcasing the progress of new crosswalk murals.
Making a crosswalk as a canvas, artist Ray Sturkey says that the people in the community inspired the artwork.
“They said they feel connected to the Augusta area. They wanted a representation for that,” said Sturkey.
The crosswalk murals being created in East Augusta District One Commissioner Jordan Johnson
At the intersection of Telfair and East Boundary, young artists from the community are taking brushes to the pavement.
“They’ve designed it, they created it, and they are still out here doing the work,” says Jordan Johnson, District One Commissioner.
People witnessed the current progress of the crosswalk murals during the block party, while they enjoyed food, music, and shopping.
Commissioner Johnson says people often call East Boundary the “Bottom”, but he and others believe that’s not true.
“I want everybody to say now that East Augusta is on the TOP!” says Felicia Rhodes.
Felicia Rhodes was also awarded the Community Champion award for outstanding service to her district.
Ray Sturkey says the project should be finished soon if weather permits.
