Public Invited to Contribute to Special Places Project
South Cumberland Community Fund invites the public to contribute to the Special Places Project celebrating the special places on the Cumberland Plateau by attending a community conversation on Aug. 30 at Roundhouse Park in Tracy City. The 2022 project will be the creation of a mural, designed by artist Andee Rudloff, and co-created with people on the Plateau.
From Aug. 29-31, Rudloff will be in the area visiting schools and conducting listening sessions on the topic, “What Makes the Plateau Special.” In addition to working with students at several area schools, Rudloff will meet with the combined Rotary clubs of Grundy County and Monteagle-Sewanee at 11:30 a.m., Tuesday, Aug. 30. On that same day at 6 p.m., she will hold a listening session for the general public in Old Roundhouse Park in Tracy City, which is where the mural will be installed. That event is co-hosted with the South Cumberland Tourism Board. The rain location is Grundy Heritage Center.
From Sept. 22–24, Rudloff will be back on the Plateau to paint the mural, with the help of many hands. Everyone is invited to be part of the mural painting, with the schedule to be announced in September. The board and staff of SCCF invite all who live on the Plateau to be a part of the special project for a special place.
On Oct. 22, the mural is to be unveiled at the Round the Mountain Fest.
