G.R.O.W. Challenge: Arts In The Heart Edition
Absolutely. I’d release these as a four-post countdown/mini-series—one for each G.R.O.W. pillar. Each post teaches the framework while giving people specific things to do at the festival.
🌱 G = GROW
Learn. Discover. Expand.
How will you GROW at Arts in the Heart?
🎶 Catch a performance at a stage you don’t usually visit.
🌎 Visit a cultural booth and learn about a new tradition.
📚 Discover something new at the Literary Stage.
🎨 Try a hands-on activity, demonstration, or interactive experience.
The festival isn’t just something to watch—it’s an opportunity to discover something you didn’t know before.

🧡 R = REACH
Connect. Meet. Engage.
This weekend, don’t just walk through the festival. Talk to somebody.
👋 Introduce yourself to an artist, performer, or vendor.
💬 Meet someone new and ask what brought them to the festival.
🎤 Ask an artist or performer, “What inspires you?”
📱 Follow a featured artist, performer, or arts organization.
Festivals create something we need more of: reasons for people who might never otherwise meet to share the same space.
That’s your challenge. REACH.

👀 O = OBSERVE
Watch. Listen. Be Inspired.
Here’s your challenge at Arts in the Heart: slow down and notice.
👀 Look at the art and design around you.
📸 Photograph something that inspires you.
🎨 Explore the Arts & Crafts Market and discover a new favorite artist.
🌍 Notice how the festival brings different cultures, ideas, sounds, and people together.
There’s a difference between being somewhere and actually experiencing it.
Take a minute. Look around. Listen.
What does Augusta’s creativity look like to you?

💜 W = WORK TOGETHER
Support. Participate. Make an Impact.
A festival this big doesn’t happen by magic. People make it happen.
❤️ Thank a volunteer or staff member.
🛍️ Support an artist or vendor with a purchase.
👥 Bring someone who has never experienced the festival.
📅 Find one way to stay involved in Augusta’s arts community after the weekend ends.
That last square may be the most important.
Arts in the Heart ends Sunday. Augusta’s arts community doesn’t.
Volunteer. Become a member. Attend another performance. Buy local art. Follow an artist. Show up again.
That’s how we WORK TOGETHER.
