Edenton’s outdoor arts scene is thriving, with three murals scattered throughout the downtown district.

Be sure to check out the new commemorative mural honoring the 250th anniversary of the Edenton Tea Party! Located on the side of the Creswell Furniture building on South Broad Street, this striking artwork pays tribute to the 51 signers of the Edenton Resolves. Designed by renowned artist Max Dowdle, the mural reflects his expertise in public art. Max, the director of NC Public Art, studied media at the College of Charleston and honed his craft at the Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy. Don’t miss this vibrant celebration of history!

Another local favorite is the vibrant mural showcasing iconic Edenton landmarks, including the Edenton teapot, the Cupola House, the Roanoke River Lighthouse, and the Edenton Trolley—plus a whimsical touch with unicycle-riding bumblebees. Painted on the side of the Chowan Arts Council Gallery building at 112 W. Water Street, it sits just across from Colonial Park on Edenton’s waterfront. Artist Matt Lively brought this mural to life in just three days, with the help of art students from Kim Harrison’s art class at John A. Holmes High School.

To complete your mural tour, head to the corner of Broad and King Street and check out the side of Surf, Wind, and Fire. Once again, artist Matt Lively has brought Edenton’s story to life—this time highlighting the town’s rich history and its legacy as a premier maritime destination.
