Paris, Tenn.–More “Dumpster Art” has been added to downtown Paris, with the installation of a dumpster painted by Paris Artist Joel Crosno, who also works at the Paris Parks and Recreation Department. The newest dumpster has been placed next to Stella Nera restaurant at the corner of Wood and Market Streets.
Crosno painted a “Welcome to Paris, Tennessee” logo, with Home of the World’s Biggest Fish Fry underneath on one side, with the logo for Back Alley Paris on the other side. On the third side, his daughter, Leah, painted a polka dot design.
The Downtown Paris Association and the City of Paris have partnered with the Tennessee Arts Commission for a grant that beautifies the street scape in the form of “Dumpster Art”. Two other dumpsters in downtown Paris were painted by Millard Nichols and John Monroe.
