MCG’s Got Talent 2021 | A Charity Arts Show Benefiting Child Enrichment

This year’s show looks different. Due to COVID restrictions, the large stages and cheering crowds this MCG tradition is used to is replaced by screens and a YouTube Live chat feed. But the mission is the same: raise money to support local charities and showcase the outstanding talent of our faculty and students. As a part of our annual show, we invite students and faculty to display their talents, including visual arts! Below are the artist who submitted art this year as well as their work. Some have offered to sell their art to raise money for Child Enrichment so if you are interested in purchasing a piece of work, please email VSAPKALOVA@augusta.edu. Hope you enjoy this year’s show! Full stream live on March 27th, 2021 on ND MD.
