Julie Wilkerson, Executive Director of the Macon Arts Alliance has some of the scoop and will be hosting the First Annual Make Music Day John Robert Lewis Honorary Award Reception.

"Macon Arts Alliance fosters support for the advancement of arts and culture in Central Georgia. We strive to be an innovative leader of a thriving regional arts community. We value strategic partnerships that strengthen the diversity and vibrancy of arts and culture for tourists, residents, artists, businesses, and civic organizations. 

Macon Arts Alliance was founded in 1984 when a Chamber of Commerce Task Force recognized that a coordinated arts community would serve as a catalyst for cultural vibrancy in the area. In 1988, Macon Arts Alliance was designated the official arts agency for the City of Macon and Bibb County. In 2014, the newly consolidated Macon-Bibb County government reaffirmed the designation at its first official meeting. 

Make Music Day Macon Worldwide Celebration originated in Macon in 2017 by Gloria Stanley, Founder/CEO of Make Music Alliance - Macon Chapter.  In 2018, the Macon Arts Alliance connected.
