Important Update from SCPNA: Our Stance on Murals and Current Koch Bakery Controversy



We, members of your SCPNA Executive Leadership Committee, encourage you, as members of SCPNA, to make your voice heard on the opportunity / challenge of producing murals as supported community art vs advertisement by taking one or both of the following actions:

1) Call and/or text our City Councilman, Chris Anderson at 423.619.7776 or 423.643.7180 before Tuesday, June 24th with the following message:
"As a member of the Southside Cowart Place Neighborhood Assoc. I request that you sponsor or support a review of the current Sign Board Ordinance regulating the creation of mural art in our neighborhood to make it more clearly differentiate between art and advertising."

2) If you support the effort to have the current Sign Board Ordinance reviewed in light of the controversy between the application of that ordinance to Koch Bakery's mural at 20th and Broad Street, then click on or copy and paste the following URL in your browser and sign the petition.
