Windows on Germantown

Historic Germantown Nashville, Inc. targeted five blank blocked-in windows at Germantown’s Little’s Fish Market for neighborhood themed murals. The organization hosted a community meeting for residents to explore ideas for the murals and selected five artists to paint the murals. Summer students at Buena Vista Elementary School were invited to learn more about the murals.
