Cache Location
In April 2022, the Hattiesburg Alliance for Public Art (HAPA), a program of VisitHATTIESBURG, unveiled its second mural in the Midtown Mural Series - The Hattiesbirds! The vibrant mural is an original design by national artist Kayla Newnam, who selected the city of Hattiesburg as the location to represent the state of Mississippi in her series of murals planned for all fifty states. Newnam is a Phoenix-based artist known for her colorful, whimsical murals and paintings. Her three-year project, Out There Murals, is Newnam’s goal of creating a mural in every state with the intention of bringing people together through public art. Mississippi is the sixth state where she’s completed a mural.
