AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Greater Augusta Arts Council is inviting the community to help shape the future of Augusta’s public art collection by ranking the sculptures currently featured on the Augusta Sculpture Trail.
Public voting is open through Aug. 1, both in person at the Augusta-Richmond County Municipal Building and online at www.augustaarts.info/AST-Vote-2026.
Created in 2021 during the COVID pandemic, the Augusta Sculpture Trail was designed to encourage residents and visitors to experience Augusta’s public spaces in new ways.
Every two years, 10 sculptures by artists from across the country are loaned and installed throughout downtown Augusta and the Riverwalk, with each work available for purchase and permanent installation.
Since its inception, the trail has completed three successful iterations, growing to include 18 sculptures, eight of which are now permanent additions to Augusta’s public art collection.
The public vote helps guide the city’s public art advisory panel in determining which sculptures will be recommended for purchase and placement within the city’s collection.
Community members interested in exploring the trail before voting have several tour options available, including a free self-guided tour through Otocast, as well as paid experiences such as the Augusta Sculpture Trail Guided Tour and Promenade & Paint.
