Franklin Tomorrow invites the community to participate in its mosaic mural project on two public occasions over the next two months in observance of America’s 250th anniversary.
The mural, which reflects a unity tree with roots forming a heart, will be a gift to the community after its completion this spring as part of Kids Art Festival of Tennessee on March 21 and Arbor Day on April 18.
The 8X12 foot mural includes 600 pieces individually painted by citizens, with each tile coming with its own palette of paints in certain tones to create the overall appearance of the tree and background.
“Franklin Tomorrow has long supported the concept of public art in our community and by completing a mosaic mural, it allows us to accomplish our mission of engaging the community and collaborating with other organizations, such as the City of Franklin,” says Mindy Tate, CEO of Franklin Tomorrow.
The City of Franklin’s Kids Arts Festival of Tennessee allows for young artists to showcase their artwork to festival goers.
For those concerned about their artistic talent, they can access a learning portal at muralmosaic.com/unity with videos and instructions on the painting process for the Unity Tree mural.
