Mural Program Interest Form (V2)

Interested in creating a mural? Fill out the interest form below to add your name to the growing list of muralists working in East Tennessee! Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and funding will be distributed as space becomes available. Dogwood Arts has funded the creation and restoration of over 65 murals in East Tennessee since 2019. Efforts have primarily been focused in Strong Alley (between Market Square and Gay Street), which has been a popular canvas for artists and a creative destination for visitors for decades. In addition to our work in Strong Alley, our public art program also facilitates connections between artists and other organizations/businesses seeking to create murals in East Tennessee. Application Recommendations: Complete the form below and upload 3-5 artwork samples that reflect your design aesthetic and ability to create a large-scale mural (samples do not specifically have to be past mural work). Do not submit sketches, renderings, or design proposals for a new mural - only submit completed artworks. If selected, you will then submit a design proposal of the mural for final review. If your artwork samples include collaborations, please credit your team in the artist statement section.
