Over last year I've been working the Innovation District at UGA as part of the first cohort of the Innovation Fellows Program. My involvement in this program includes basic training in leadership and entrepreneurship. It's been a pleasure interacting with the other fellows and I'm excited to see what the next steps will bring.
I took these photos at Ben Burton Park in Athens GA (2021). I do not know who the artist is, and this work is not featured in any source I can find.
