Your Guide to Murals in Powhatan
World Photography Day is celebrated each year on August 19th to recognize the importance of photography, its history, and the creativity that accompanies it. While photographs can obviously be taken anywhere the operator draws inspiration, murals have become increasingly popular photo backdrops for professional photographers and social media influencers alike. Powhatan County, Virginia happens to be home to a number of vibrant wall murals and outdoor wall art that we think could make the perfect subject or background for your next local photoshoot! While you’re visiting our county, make sure to pay a visit to the following locations:
Powhatan’s newest mural, located on the side of the newly renovated Jinks Towing building, showcases a map of our county as well as our perfectly detailed county seal. This mural was created by Powhatan native, Tre Taliaferro, and makes the perfect photo op for those visiting the county, as well as those who are looking to show off their hometown pride.
