On the morning of Friday, June 19, a public art installation began in the median park at the corner of Second Street and Cotton Avenue. This installation, and one in the median park at First and Poplar Streets, have been approved by Macon-Bibb County by both permit and Mayor’s Executive Order. Local artists built and painted both installations.
“The past several weeks, I have been so proud of the overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations held by our community to move us all forward,” says Mayor Robert Reichert. “This peaceful act will be allowed to continue, and we are going to support people having the difficult conversations that will make us better as people and as a community.”
