NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Metro Nashville Arts Commission awarded the nonprofit "Creative Girls Rock" a grant to put in a mural on the side of the the Looby Community Center.

The center is named for Z. Alexander Looby who was an attorney who founded Kent College of Law, Nashville's first law school for Black people. He was also one of the first Black people elected to Metro City council.

Now, Creative Girls Rock has already done a lot in the community! They've already done murals at John Early Magnet School, Napier Elementary and at Slim and Husky's.

But you're asked to be a part of this next project!

A town hall is being held tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. at the Looby Community Center where they'll take your input on the design of the mural.

Archived Sky 5 video shows Nashville's skyline transformation

Nashville's skyline looks drastically different than when I came to NewsChannel 5 in 1993. A lot of those changes have happened in just the last several years, and the skyline continues to grow. Sky 5 and several viewers have been able to visually document it. I love Austin's look back!
