The Great Art Hunt 2025

Discover art treasures in the Great Art Hunt! You'll get a map and a list of clues to help you find all the stops in this scavenger hunt of murals and sculptures in downtown Macon. This is our 6th year hosting this event, and this time it will be bigger than ever with more art to find than ever before. Friday, August 1 to Sunday, August 3.

How it works:

• The event will kick off at The 567 Center, at 456 First Street.
• Stop by between 5-8 pm on August 1 to pick up your tote bag, map, and clues. 
• Take photos with your team to prove you found the art!
• Hunt for the art one day or all weekend--most people can complete the hunt in 4 hours.
•  If you find all 30 locations, all of your team members will be entered into a drawing to win a Macon weekend prize package, including a stay at Hotel 45, 4 tickets to the Macon-Mercer Symphony on September 22, a gift certificate to Downtown Grill, coffee from Taste & See, a gift certificate for art experiences at The 567 Center and more.
• Along the way, you might also find small pieces of art to keep as mini-prizes (Saturday only). 
• Registration includes a Great Art Hunt tote bag to carry your map, clues, and any mini art you find.
• Proceeds from this event support The 567 Center and its mission of bringing creative life to downtown Macon.
• To be entered into the drawing for the grand prize, you must complete the hunt and e-mail your photos for proof by Monday, August 4 at 8 am.

In addition to incredible art, downtown Macon is full of unique shops, amazing restaurants, historic architecture and beautiful green spaces. Whether you live in Macon or are visiting for the first time, you'll enjoy exploring its nooks and crannies. You can travel by car, foot, or bicycle--the choice is yours! Teams of 1-6 people are welcome!

Children 10 and under are free! (Child registration does not include tote bag).
