Macon, Georgia

Macon Arts

Quite often I hear local citizens comment that their is nothing to do in Macon, Georgia. From my point of view that is a cop-out for anyone that desires to do nothing. This past Friday Evening my Bride and I attended the Opening Reception at Macon Arts at 486 First Street in downtown Macon. The Gallery featured Ceramic Artist David Morgan and Painter Michele Treesong. The reception was well attended and I had to wait to capture these images without people obstructing the view.

Of course the food table is also a featured attraction at any Gallery Opening and this event did very well with a diverse selection of tasty finger foods for everyone's taste.
Here you see three gallery opening attendees discussing the potential uses of these pottery pieces.

Mr. David Morgan who has been a potter for thirty-two years discussing his work with show attendees. An interesting, educational and fun event. The next time you hear anyone say that there is nothing to do in Macon please refer them to the Weekly "Out & About" publication provided by "The Telegraph" here in Macon, Georgia. This publication is issued every Friday and showcases the fun events of Middle Georgia.
