City: Athens

"Honey for the Heart", an annual community art project, transforms the City of Athens’ Halloween season to an all-inclusive family and community-friendly event. Passion Works seeks support for a new production coordinator to lead and guide student groups and community volunteers in the creation of masks, costumes and large-scale puppets for the 13th annual artmaking project and parade.

"Where we live" in Athens, Georgia is fluid, changing with each new resident. Every community member's origins inform where we, as a city, are going. Our focus is on "The People," our ancestors and lineage and the places we all call "home." Through shared reading of Gyasi's novel, Homegoing, we explore our city's African American history and culture, connecting to present-day diversity.
