Dogwood Arts has added a new event this year: the Knoxwalls Murals & Music Festival. The event, scheduled for Saturday, May 30, will feature a live mural competition between 10 artists in Emory Place. Attendees can also expect live music, food trucks, and local vendors.
The festival is anticipated to become a signature in the Dogwood Arts lineup, and is expected to be hosted in a different neighborhood each year. Muralists can apply starting Monday, Nov. 10.
A few new restaurants are coming to Gay Street. MōkuMōku, a Japanese concept with a location in Atlanta, will begin construction in February. An elevated steak and seafood restaurant is also planned for the former Frothy Monkey space in 2027. (Knoxville News Sentinel)
Development
Knoxville’s Women’s Suffrage Museum will be even bigger than initially planned thanks in part to a $500,000 donation from Hatcher-Hill Properties co-founder and president Tim Hill. The donation helped the museum acquire a second property adjacent to its original location. The museum is scheduled to open in 2028. (Knoxville News Sentinel)
State
As part of budget hearings earlier this week, the Tennessee Department of Homeland Security asked Governor Bill Lee for funding for two new state highway patrol dispatch centers, one in Knoxville and one in Chattanooga. Budget hearings are scheduled to continue into next week. (WBIR)
