Street art in Nashville

Where to find street art in Nashville (United States)

Nashville's mural scene gained momentum in the 2010s, driven by the city's growing global profile and the rise of social media. The movement crystallized around artist Adrien Saporiti's "I Believe in Nashville" mural, painted in 2012 in the 12 South neighborhood, which amassed over one million Instagram posts and became a defining symbol of the city's identity.

East Nashville is the most saturated neighborhood for street art, with murals covering building sides, residential fences, and alleyways along the Gallatin Pike corridor. The Gulch is home to Kelsey Montague's "What Lifts You" Wings Mural (2016), a pair of white lace wings that became the city's most photographed artwork. North Nashville concentrates works focused on African American heritage and community narratives.

Kelsey Montague, Elisheba Israel Mrozik, and Adrien Saporiti are among the most active artists in the scene. The city's public art collection encompasses 178 permanent installations. Post-disaster mural projects following tornadoes that struck the region have further reinforced the community-driven dimension of the local scene.
