Lodge announces their “From our Hands to Yours” call for submissions for local mural artists in Tennessee and surrounding areas. The large-scale mural will be painted on the side of a Lodge production building timed to the company’s Lodgetoberfest celebration in early October.
The mural theme is based on Lodge’s long history of innovation, reinvention and perseverance and company’s 125 years of experience and passion, all coming together the moment Lodge’s product enters someone’s home. The mural will be on the Northeast-facing wall of a Lodge production building in South Pittsburg, a prominent location as an entry point into the Lodge campus and clearly visible to passersby.
“At Lodge, we are excited to announce this call for submissions and have the opportunity to engage with the local artist community in and around our hometown of South Pittsburg as we celebrate our 125th anniversary this year,” said Mike Otterman, president and CEO, Lodge Cast Iron. “We can’t wait to see the creativity from artists who participate and their unique interpretations of our ‘From our Hands to Yours’ theme.”
Since 1896, Lodge has manufactured heirloom-quality cast iron cookware at its foundries in South Pittsburg.
