We invite those interested in applying to come to Pope’s Tavern Museum for an Interest Meeting on Thursday, March 26th at 6pm.

Florence Arts & Museums (FAM) is seeking proposals from local artists for a mural at Pope's Tavern Museum, thanks to a grant from the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area. The objective of the project is to enhance the historic site at Pope's Tavern with a creative expression of historical events relevant to the Shoals area. We seek to encourage learning, contemplation, and discovery, while bringing people together through an exploration of the area's past, present, and future. We are hoping this project will add to the interpretation at the Museum, which focuses on 19th century history of Florence and Lauderdale County, including domestic life, slavery, and the Civil War. The extended deadline for submissions will be April 17th, 2026 at 5pm. The request for proposal form can be downloaded from our website (www.florencealmuseums.com). The design that will go on the building will be chosen by a selection committee.
