(MURFREESBORO)  Public art is "art that is in the public for everyone to enjoy". The Experience Community Church donated Murfreesboro's first piece of "public art" Tuesday (4/4/2023) afternoon at the new Murfreesboro Airport. 

Local Sculpture Joe Brown explained . . .

The words inscribed on the compass: DIRECTION, PURPOSE, PREPARATION and DESTINATION tell a strong story of preparing for a journey--whether for life or piloting an airplane. The sculpture is located in the concrete circle in the roundabout at the municipal airport. 

WGNS News asked Experience Community Church' Lead Pastor Corey Trimble what motivated the congregation to make this gift to area residents . . .

Murfreesboro's Vice Mayor Bill Shacklett notes that everyone benefits from "public art" . . .

The public is encouraged to drive by the Murfreesboro Municipal Airport at 1930 Memorial Blvd., behind Walmart, and see this beautiful sculpture.
