We all know that Nashville has a vibrant art scene — and we’re not just talking about the Frist Art Museum. One of our all-time favorite galleries? Music City itself.

The 615 is home to a number of meaningful murals. Today, we’re sharing where to find pieces that really paint a picture of our city.

🖌️ 12 South

"I Believe In Nashville,” 2700 12th Ave. S., 1402 Clinton St. + 917 Woodland St. | By Adrien Saporiti

This mural stands as testament to the hardships Music City has faced in recent years — you’ll also find picture-pawfect replicas at The Basement East and Marathon Music Works.

“Nashville Looks Good On You,” 2511 12th Ave. S. | By nashTN

Located behind Frothy Monkey, this sleek design can also be found on a line of clothing by nashTN. See a list of additional “Nashville Looks Good On You” murals around town.

“Dolly Parton,” Acme Feed & Seed (corner of 1st Avenue and Broadway) | By Mackenzie K. Moore

The portrait of the Tennessee queen debuted in fall of 2022 (facing 1st Avenue and the Cumberland River) and features one of Dolly’s famous lines, “If you want the rainbow, you’ve got to put up with the rain.”

“Tennessee Tough,” 424 6th Ave. S. | By Eric ‘Mobe’ Bass

This mural was unveiled during Titans kickoff week in 2020, incorporating augmented reality technology to create a more interactive fan experience throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
