COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE
LADY JUSTICE By Kristin Luna DMA-events
Columbia is the latest city to join the state-wide public art movement Walls for Women that gives women opportunities to paint original murals on large-scale walls across Tennessee. Tullahomabased nonprofit DMA-events launched this project in 2020 in conjunction with the centenary of the 19th Amendment and Tennessee’s place as the 36th and final state to vote in favor of women. The Columbia mural, Lady Justice, was completed on Nov. 5. “How exciting to see this beautiful mural Lady Justice completed. It’s so colorful and creates a bright spot in an otherwise unnoticed area,” stated Kellye Murphy, Tourism & Marketing Director for Visit Columbia. “We jumped at the opportunity to join the Walls for Women mural trail in Tennessee as we work to find more ways to bring greater attention to the arts.”
