Centerville, DMA Events
Artist and educator Whitney Herrington lives in Columbia, where she also has a studio downtown. When asked to be a part of Walls for Women, Whitney altered her original floral design after she saw the first few completed projects.
As part of the ‘Walls for Women’ initiative, DMA-events commissioned murals in Hickman and Coffee Counties to honor the centennial of the 19th Amendment. These installations celebrated women’s history and public art in underserved communities. The murals reinforced regional identity through inclusive storytelling. Despite uncertainty around local partnerships, the murals reached a wide audience and inspired civic reflection.
The Punch Bug mural was sponsored by the Tennessee Arts Commission’s FY21 Creative Placemaking grant, and was managed by DMA Events.
