Athens Mural Alley

The Athens Mural Alley is a public art project to beautify the alleyway that connects Clayton Street (by Classic City Cycling) and Washington St. Taylor Shaw's "Greetings from Athens" mural was completed in 2020 and will be joined by a series of 5' x 5' panels from other local artists. The new panels, to be installed in 2021, will depict the theme "Here & Now 2021" with inspiration drawing from "recovery, advocacy, activism, optimism and hope" as a testament to the resiliency of the Athens community. The project is a collaboration among the Athens Area Arts Council, Athens Cultural Affairs Commission, Athens Downtown Development Authority and Lyndon House Arts Center.
