If you've been downtown for any First Friday or music event, you more than likely have run into John Mollica, better known as Johnny Mo!

Johnny Mo is a visual artist, lettering specialist, music promoter, and proud Macon resident. Over the years, he has produced art for album covers, posters, and merchandise for dozens of unknown bands and a few that are more recognizable, including the Allman Brothers Band, Gov’t Mule, Derek Trucks, and Susan Tedeschi. Today, he is a well-known part of Middle Georgia's Absurdist art movement and works primarily with paintings and mixed media works with found materials!

You've waited long enough, now it's time to reveal our final Mural Festival Featured Artist...Nico Cathcart!

Nico is a Deaf/Hard of Hearing painter and muralist from Toronto, Ontario who currently is based in Richmond, Virginia. She is a member of the all-women paint crew Few and Far, and her work has been featured in several galleries across the country, including the Virginia Museum of History and Culture and the ABV Gallery. Nico's art style is, in her own words, "highly-realistic, socially informed intersectional activations on both walls and canvas".

You can check out more of Nico's work and support her by following her at Nico Cathcart!

Meet Heidi Clinite, a local multimedia artist who specializes in acrylic paintings, wood-burned works, and mixed-media collages using discarded and repurposed materials!

Heidi studied figure drawing and painting at The Art Students League of New York, and taught herself wood-burning in 2015. The following year, she started her art business, Ember Maypop Shop, where she sells art decor and crafts. Fun fact: Heidi's piece in our "Joie Debris" show, "Luna Sea", is a dreamcatcher made out of a bicycle rim and found objects, and a portion of the proceeds goes to supporting the Ojibwa Tribe in recognition of the cultural origins that inspired it.

You can support Heidi and check out more of her work by following her at .clinite!
