The Greenway Art Festival, Murfreesboro’s outdoor celebration of regional artists, returns to Old Fort Park for 2021.
All work shown at the festival, held Saturday, Sept. 18 from 10 a.m.–4 p.m., must be original art created by the displaying artist.
The event includes all manner of fine art—painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, printmaking, fiber art and more—according to Lisa Browning, assistant cultural arts coordinator with Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation, which presents the annual event, and should include over 70 artist booths. Plus, community arts organizations such as Murfreesboro Art League, Smyrna Artist Cooperative, Rutherford Arts Alliance and MTSU Art and Design will each represent and display the work of numerous artists at their areas.

“The theme for this year is Celebrating Hope,” Browning said. “The art of paper mosaics will be highlighted in the Kids Tent with a collaborative project to symbolize how coming together as a community has the potential of creating something beautiful.”
Additionally, the MTSU Department of Art and Design will share a mosaic installation from their campus, and department members “will be there to talk about art education as a career choice” as well as engaging with visitors through the art installation, Browning said.
Take a stroll along the Murfreesboro Greenway at Old Fort Park, 1025 Old Fort Pkwy., Murfreesboro, on Saturday, Sept. 18, and view the work of dozens of talented visual artists.
