They don’t call it the "Broad Avenue Arts District" for nothing. The Broad Avenue Water Tower is Memphis’ tallest and most iconic installation of public art, soaring 150ft into the air. Youngblood Studio did the mural, and Jeremy Allen Fisher did the lighting design. The mural itself reflects the topography of the Mississippi River. Just below the water tower on the warehouse is the This is We mural by French artist Guillaume Alby, aka ReMed. The mural is one of the largest in Memphis, spanning approximately 200ft. Adjacent is Terpsichore -- a color block mural brought to life by students from one of the Binghamton schools under direction of resident artist Tom Clifton. In Greek mythology, Terpsichore, or "delight in dancing," was one of the nine Muses and the goddess of dance and chorus. The Wiseacre container bridge mural by Michael Roy, graffiti artist, changes every six to eight months, so you never know who will greet you on your way to the tasting room of Wiseacre Brewing Company.
