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, the Memphis CVB (my employer), and the Urban Art Commission.
Here’s a map of all the I Love Memphis murals.

I live in the neighborhood and see folks snapping photos in front of this I Love Memphis mural nearly every day, no exaggeration.

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

Who can one contact to do a Mural? What are the normal cost? Will they do it for free if paint is supplied?
