CFD Lieutenant Selected To Paint Mural

We are proud to announce that Lt. Julius Hubbard (Quint 6 Red) has been selected by EPB to be one of nine artists for the 10th Street Community Mural Project!

The artists will paint murals on nine panels along the EPB substation fence at 10th and Foster Street. The central theme for the mural project is “The Soul of MLK – How artists visualize the heartbeat and soul of MLK in arts, music and culture” to highlight the history, heritage and significance of Downtown Chattanooga’s Martin Luther King Boulevard area.

“I’m humbled and excited to be selected. I’m grateful to EPB for giving local emerging artists the opportunity to showcase their talent while honoring an American civil justice icon,” Lt. Hubbard said.

The artists’ work was selected by a group of outside stakeholders based on its artistic value, clarity of thought, community reflection and relevance with blind judging. Work will begin this spring.

“Lt. Hubbard is a true professional and I could not be more blessed to serve with him. He is also an incredibly talented and passionate artist,” stated Battalion Chief Brandon Schroyer. “This really speaks to how gifted and diverse the members of this department are!”

Lt. Hubbard concept for the mural is called “Dare to Dream." Congratulations!
