Pope’s Tavern Mural Request For Proposals

FLORENCE-Florence Arts & Museums (FAM) is seeking proposals from local artists for a mural at Pope’s Tavern Museum, thanks to a grant from the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area. The objective of the project is to enhance the historic site at Pope’s Tavern with a creative expression of historical events relevant to the Shoals area. We seek to encourage learning, contemplation, and discovery, while bringing people together through an exploration of the area’s past, present, and future. We are hoping this project will add to the interpretation at the Museum, which focuses on 19th century history of Florence and Lauderdale County, including domestic life, slavery, and the Civil War. The deadline for submissions will be January 30th, 2026. The request for proposal form can be downloaded from our website (www.florencealmuseums.com).

The design that will go on the building will be chosen by a selection committee; if you are interested in serving on this committee, please send a resume, CV, or short cover letter to: connect@florencealmuseums.com with the subject line: PT Mural Selection Committee.
