Wiregrass
Festival of Murals
The folks in
the Wiregrass Area have always grown up hearing about the
adventures, exploits and achievements of our forefathers, and felt
these larger-than-life histories would be a wonderful thing to share
with the World. Needing a venue as big as the stories themselves,
the historic downtown district of Dothan, Alabama has been
transformed into an eco-museum of history and local culture. We
welcome you to The Wiregrass Festival of Murals.
Walking among these giant works of art, you get a sense of how these
people, places and events shaped our area, and leave with a feeling
of how very important their contributions are to the people of our
community. We hope you enjoy your visit. For additional
information, contact The Downtown Group at 1-334-793-3097.
Peanuts
Around Town
Giant peanuts are
starting to crop up on every street corner in Dothan! Thanks to
The Downtown Group, the public art project "Peanuts Around Town"
was undertaken to provide funding for the addition of two new murals
in the historic downtown area. Local businesses, civic
organizations, and individuals may purchase and decorate their
peanut according to their own concept. The 5 foot high peanut
sculptures are made entirely of fiberglass and weight 55 pounds.
Prior to permanent installation by the city, the peanuts will be
filled with concrete and will weight approximately 400 pounds.
There are currently over 40 peanuts around Dothan. Each sculpture
is as unique as the individual organization itself. Call The
Downtown Group at 334-793-3097 for more information.
Wiregrass
