The Town of Nolensville's Trails, Arts, Parks, and Streetscapes Advisory Committee (TAPS), in collaboration with the Artist Guild of Nolensville (AGN), brings 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. Selected artworks will be printed on individual street banners and exhibited from Spring 2026 - Fall 2026.

Theme: "We the People"

In celebration of the 250th America’s birthday, artists of all ages are encouraged to express their own individual interpretation and visual voice within this theme. This theme can be interpreted broadly and does not need to be literal.

Artwork may encompass (but is not limited to) patriotic imagery, American symbols, historic landmarks, meaningful architecture, notable places, landscapes, and portraits or figurative work that reflects the American story; its shared history, diverse people, culture, communities, and what “We The People” means to you.

Entry Fee:

There is no entry fee.

Submissions:

Each artist may submit up to two (2) images online. However, only one image per artist will be selected for the exhibition.

Deadline:

The submission deadline is Friday, January 30, 2026. Please note that no extensions will be granted due to the processing timeline.
