This week's Nashville Public Art entries are from the Queens mixed-use residential community that recently opened in the WeHo District on the near south side. The entrance to the parking garage honors every single construction worker who helped build it, listing them by name.

This week's Nashville Public Art entries are the first installment of four Johnny Cash pieces around Music City. The Man in Black is probably the most popular subject of artist-driven murals in Nashville.

TBT: With Becky Thompson at a Trailer Party, Colorado Springs, 1989. Notice the fresh Oreos in my teeth. This wildly fun/silly party concept came from the mind of Cindy Statham Hestla, who has hosted them in Nashville since the mid-80s. Everyone comes dressed as if they live in a trailer park.

This is the original ANTIFA logo from World War II. This remains the mission. It's amazing that so many Americans whose relatives fought and died to end fascism, now believe anti-fascists are the bad guys. Which, by default, makes Nazis and fascists their "good guys."

TBT: Back in the 90s I was part of a weekly Nashville conclave that became known as The Uni Support Group. It was a commitment of folks from all sorts of backgrounds that truly tried to embrace diversity. This pic is from an evening where we were each given a lump of clay in April of ’97.
