The Metro Human Relations Commission on Monday accepted the terms of a conciliated agreement, the next step in resolving a civil rights complaint filed by a group of artists in October. The agreement contains a “make-whole” financial provision that will fully fund applications for 26 public art projects — most of which are murals — that were left out of the Arts Commission’s 2024 funding allocations. The Nashville Post reports that the agreement contains no admission of fault by any party, including Metro Legal and the Metro Arts Commission, and requires the artists to drop any related legal claims against the city.
