We're helping spread the word about one of our favorite downtown events: The Great Art Hunt, presented by The 567 Center for Renewal! 🎨

On June 13 and 14, teams of 1 to 4 head out to find 20 murals and sculptures hidden throughout downtown Macon. Start at The 567 Center on Saturday to pick up your tote bag, map, and clues, and then you're off! 🖌️

Find all 20 locations, and your whole team is entered into a drawing to win the grand prize: a 2-night stay with dinner at Hotel Forty Five plus a $150 gift certificate for art classes at The 567 Center. Smaller prizes are up for grabs too! 💰

Proceeds support The 567 Center and its mission of bringing creative life to downtown Macon.

Bike Walk Macon has been keeping Macon moving all month long, and they're not done yet. 🚶🚲

This Tuesday, their Walk 'n' Talk series heads downtown to explore some of Macon's newest public spaces. Margaret Peth with the Urban Development Authority will be along for the walk, sharing the vision behind the pedestrian and bike improvements helping connect our city.
📍 Third Street Park (near Bibb Theatre) | May 19 | 6:00 PM

Then on May 29, it's Car Free Day. The goal? 200 Maconites leaving their cars behind for the day. Walk, bike, bus, carpool, whatever works for you. Pledgers score a free coffee at the morning meetup at Macon Bagels, and the day wraps up at Fall Line Brewing Co. from 5 to 7 PM.

Check the link in comments to take the Car Free Day pledge and see the full day's lineup of meet-ups!

Gallery West is not going anywhere, and we couldn't be more excited about it's new era.

After 11 years, Kirsten West is retiring. May's First Friday was her celebration! Scott Mitchell, owner of the Bohemian Den and Sweet Eleanor's, steps in as new owner this July, keeping the name, the mission, and Kirk West's iconic photography right where they belong.

Kirk and Kirsten West are woven into the fabric of this city. Kirk spent over 20 years as photographer and Tour Mystic for the Allman Brothers Band, with a collection spanning the Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Bob Marley, and so many more. Kirsten took that legacy and built a true home for it, while also featuring many local artists and bringing something special to downtown Macon for over a decade!

Help us say congrats and drop a memory in the comments! 📸
