2025 Brushstrokes Across Nolensville

The Town of Nolensville Streetscapes & Public Spaces Committee (SPAC), in collaboration with the Artist Guild of Nolensville (AGN), is bringing art to Nolensville Road and the Town of Nolensville! Brushstrokes Across Nolensville will be a curated display of artwork printed on vibrant vinyl banners and hung on street poles along a prominent section of roadway through town. These banners will showcase the work of Tennessee artists, with each banner featuring a unique piece of art. Up to 37 selected artworks will be printed on individual street banners and exhibited from Spring 2025 - Fall 2025.

This has been made possible through the Tennessee Arts Commission.
