Meet the artist behind the new Art the Box Installation: Genesis Holmes!

Her art box, “The Feel of Love,” is located at Crest Drive & Tobacco Road in Hephzibah at Sandridge Subdivision.
Genesis has graciously donated this work as a manifestation of her love for art. She is a girl scout, and this work is part of her gold pin for accomplishment in art.
We are thrilled that the increase in public art in Augusta has inspired young Genesis to believe that she, too, can create something beautiful for her city. The Greater Augusta Arts Council is happy to provide her with support for her vision.

New Art the Box Installation by Artist Genesis Holmes!

We are excited to announce the new Art the Box installation, “The Feel of Love,” by high school student Genesis Holmes!

This art box is located at Crest Drive & Tobacco Road in Hephzibah at Sandridge Subdivision.
Genesis is graciously donating this work as a manifestation of her love for art. Her proposal was reviewed by the Public Art Advisory Panel, and permitted by Augusta Traffic Engineering.
Her first proposal was rejected with recommendations to revise and resubmit, and she took the recommendations and created a new proposal, which was accepted.
Genesis is a girl scout, and this work is part of her gold pin for accomplishment in art.
We are thrilled that the increase in public art in Augusta has inspired young Genesis to believe that she, too, can create something beautiful for her city. The Greater Augusta Arts Council is happy to provide her with support for her vision.
