Get ready for a day bursting with color, creativity, and community as Dogwood Arts transforms Emory Place into an open-air art and music experience. Ten talented muralists will go head-to-head in a live painting competition, creating murals in real time while festival-goers watch the art unfold, enjoy performances by local & regional musicians, and explore the vibrant personalities of the businesses in and around Emory Place.Throughout the day, attendees will vote to select the 1st & 2nd place winners, who will each receive permanent mural commissions at sites around Knoxville. The temporary 8’x8’ murals will then be auctioned online, with proceeds shared between the artists and Dogwood Arts’ Mural Program, fueling even more public art projects across the city.

If you love KnoxWalls at Emory Place, you’re going to love this next chapter. That project — created in partnership with Visit Knoxville and Lilienthal Gallery — transformed more than 7,000 square feet of walls and was the largest mural project in city history. We can’t wait to bring even more color and creativity to this growing arts district!
