Nashville WhatLiftsYou Wings Mural


Nashville WhatLiftsYou Wings Mural is a must-see if you are visiting the Music City. I’ve been around that mural several times, it is always the center of attention in that area.

Nashville WhatLiftsYou Wings Mural is probably the most popular and most photographed mural in the Music City. It is located in heart of The Gulch near Biscuit Love and Juice Bar. This famous mural is 20 feet high, it took the artist Kelsey Montague 60 large paint pens to draw it out.

Let’s talk about what’s so cool about this mural.

Music City has murals all over every neighborhood and district. Some of the more popular ones are Drippy Lips and the Hillsboro Dragon in Hillsboro Village. Then there is the Silo Mural in the Nations part of Nashville. This mural is of an old fella painted about 160 feet tall looking up at the sky.

Although the above-mentioned murals are very popular, none of them compare to the “Gulch Angel Wings” as the locals call it. Most tourists that ask me about it call it the Nashville WhatLifts You Wings. I normally tell them to set their GPS to find Biscuit Love on 11th Avenue in the Gulch, it is right around the corner from that. For you, since you are reading this article I’ll put the address in the summary below.

A little about the Nashville WhatLiftsYou Wings Mural artist

The artist Kelsey Montaque is known for her artistic style of creating “Interactive murals”. The Nashville WhatLiftsYou Wings Mural did not disappoint! At any given time during the day into the evening before it gets dark you can see someone standing in front of the wings to get their picture taken.

It took Kelsey a week with a boom lift and 60 paint pens to draw the 20-foot-high Instagrammable mural. Kelsey has done other murals in Nashville and many other places throughout the world. She has even done work with Taylor Swift in doing the temporary #ME Butterfly wings pop-up art that was across the street from the Nashville WhatLiftsYou Wings Mural.
