About the Event
Knox Walls at Emory Place will officially open to the public on October 4, 2024.
Dogwood Arts,Visit Knoxville, and Lilienthal Gallery are excited to announce a large-scale public art project unlike any other in our area. The project will transform an unassuming, little used space into an extensive outdoor art gallery, putting Knoxville on the map alongside cities like Asheville, Miami, and Philadelphia as a must-visit destination to appreciate public art.
The murals will be located in the space behind Lilienthal Gallery, Pivot Point Gallery, French Fried Vintage, Design AF, NOI Knoxville, and Harb’s Carpeting & Oriental Rugs between N. Central Street and N. Broadway.
Knox Walls at Emory Place will be an immersive art destination in the heart of North Knoxville, featuring thirteen large-scale, permanent murals by prominent artists from across the country.
Kim Bumpas, President of Visit Knoxville said, “We are thrilled for the opportunity to continue our partnership with Dogwood Arts on this exciting creative endeavor. We know that murals and street art are a big draw for visitors in destinations across the country, and Knoxville is no exception. The Emory Place mural project will continue to showcase Knoxville as a nature-loving-adventure-seeking-ARTSY-kinda-town!”
