Memphis Mural Locations: All Of The I Love Memphis Murals
Dearest readers, followers, and fellow Memphians, here are the six I Love Memphis murals and their locations. Your weekend mission is to find an I Love Memphis mural you haven’t yet been to, take a picture of you/you and your pals/your dog and post on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram with the tag #ilovememphis.
The I Love Memphis murals project is a collaboration between this blog, Memphis Tourism, and the Urban Art Commission.

I write about what’s going on with Memphis music, food, arts, events, sports, people, and culture. Memphians love Elvis and barbeque with a passion that must be seen to be believed, but there is so much more to this place.
Of course, I like it best when it looks like this: 10599613_10152435295485805_8467109954514367073_n.jpg
Ned, that is super cool!!
Perfect weather for this weekend mission!
Larrie, that’s what I was thinking!
Maybe we were looking in the wrong place, but we didn't find the Vance at Allen mural.

Who can one contact to do a Mural? What are the normal cost? Will they do it for free if paint is supplied?
Hi Tulio,
Every artist has different rates and policies. You’ll need to contact them individually.
[…] Fun fact about Memphis: there are some pretty dope murals painted all over town. We only had time to visit one, so we chose the one that spoke to how we felt about the entire weekend. If you have the time, you can spend a whole day exploring the beautiful wall art. Check out more here. […]
Is this an official ilovememphis mural?

If so – are there others???
It’s technically a billboard, but yeah, I generally count it as one of the official ones. There are no others yet; I’ll add this to the list.
