We spy two new murals in Fayetteville, both designed and installed by Kim Radford! The fish mural on the side of the Chamber of Commerce - Fayetteville-Lincoln County, TN honors Tennessee’s oldest fish hatchery, which has been stocking the state’s waters since 1931. Located in Lincoln County, the Flintville Fish Hatchery produces more than 100,000 trout annually for Tennessee rivers and lakes and encompasses roughly 750 acres dedicated to recreation and conservation.

The second is on the new bathroom facility at Wells Hill Park, depicting the rare sweet white trillium that bloom in abundance along the trails. Have you seen either of these murals in person yet? If you do, be sure and tag us in your photos!

One building, two murals. Our latest DMA project was completed on Sunday in Viola! The incomparable Megan Lingerfelt installed "Magnolia" on the west-facing wall of Viola's Guest House on the Square in 2021 with the support of the community who crowd-funded the piece.

Five years later, we were able to bring Megan back to Viola, this time to paint "Laurel" on the east-facing wall with the support of Tennessee Arts Commission, as well as funding from DMA, Viola's Pizza Company, the Viola Valley Half Marathon, Ben Lomand and individuals from the community. A big thanks to Megan and Dave for painting through the heat, wasps, wind and bees, and to everyone who brought this project to life, including Scott van Velsor who spent a few days prepping the wall for the art! You can see a before shot of what the wall looked like less than two weeks ago in the comments.

We love Viola and the fact that the town is a shining example of how impactful community can be—the town has only 144 residents!—particularly when it comes to public art and activating spaces.

It’s mural season over here, and we love to see this beauty done! Five years ago, we brought Megan Lingerfelt in to paint “Magnolia” on the west-facing wall of Viola's Guest House on the Square. Then, we got the opportunity to hire her again, this time to paint “Laurel” on the other side of the building.

This project has been in the works for a long time, and we’re grateful to everyone who contributed financially to make this project happen. Backers include Tennessee Arts Commission, Viola's Pizza Company, Ben Lomand Connect, Viola Valley Half Marathon and us, DMA.

Commissioning a mural isn't rocket science; it's about treating an artist with respect just as you would any professional you're hiring—an attorney, a landscape designer, a photographer, a plumber. After eight years of running a nonprofit, we've learned a thing or two about bringing murals from concept to walls and are divulging all in this blog post: https://www.camelsandchocolate.com/how-to-commission-a-mural-in-a-small-town/

This is the sweetest essay ever! Thank you, Colin, and congratulations on your win. We love Tullahoma, the murals and our frog friends at Jack T Farrar Elementary School.

"One of the reasons I love Tullahoma is because of all the murals. The murals are great and I think people love them. If you are visiting Tullahoma and you see a spray-painted Lego man mural, wouldn’t that brighten your day." 🥹
