Participating artists include: Orel Brodt (Knoxville, TN), ARCY – Ryan Christenson (North Haven, CT), Cole Eisenhour (Ogden, UT), Detour – Thomas Evans (Denver, CO), Curtis Glover (Knoxville, TN), Naomi Haverland (Titusville, FL), Megan Lingerfelt (Oak Ridge, TN), Gared Luquet (Knoxville, TN), Pat Perry (Detroit, MI), Juan Rozas (Buenos Aires, Argentina/Miami, FL), Don Rimx – David Sepulveda (Puerto Rico/Orlando, FL), The Obanof – Hannah Webb (Los Angeles, CA), and Rachel Wolfe-Goldsmith (Oakland, CA).

Knox Walls at Emory Place is funded by Dogwood Arts, Visit Knoxville, Lilienthal Gallery, the Tennessee Arts Commission and ORNL Federal Credit Union – presenting sponsor of Dogwood Arts. The project could not happen without the support and commitment of property owners Ilana Brodt, and Johnny & Libby Harb. Dogwood Arts would also like to thank Ken Knight and the Crowne Plaza for their incredible hospitality as the host hotel for the muralists during their time in Knoxville.
