The Ellison Garage interior has been recently painted all gray. All the murals are gone. The only ones remaining are on the outside of the garage. Very disappointing.

Little correction: Elliston Place is near *Centennial* Park. Also don’t miss the street art in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood – love the Third Eye Jackalope behind the brewery at the corner of Houston & Pillow.

In reply to Jessica Anglea. Yes- the pic here is from the 12South neighborhood, but I heard that the one in East Nashville was hit. So sad!

Excited to find your article. The artist for the dragons mural is Kim Radford. She has other murals around East Nashville. Notably Ham Baby on Mitchell’s Delicatessen and most recently Lilly Hiatt’s album promo at Grimey’s. She did one with an eagle and flag motif on a bail bond building that was unfortunately was destroyed by the tornado last week.

Oh my, these are examples of great street art! I would have emotional reactions to those of Guido Van Helten. Those are truly larger than life. Love the calligraphy, too…quite unique!

You’re right. I never think of Nashville and murals in the same thought. Clearly, that needs to change. As a Philadelphian, I’m very partial to street murals. Philly has a vibrant mural scene with over 3,600 around the city, mostly sponsored by the Philadelphia Mural Arts program. It was originally started as an anti-graffiti initiative and has been very successful. Neighbors are included in planning and painting the murals and they largely stay free of graffiti even in the roughest neighborhoods. Come visit and see them. Organized “trolley” tours are available and there is a self guided walking tour of murals in Center City Philadelphia.

Nice to see that Nashville has a great assortment of murals and street art. I love that one with Jimmy Carter!
