Just outside of downtown, SoMo Walls transforms a once forgotten industrial district in the shadow of the Capitol into a space that shows off art by local and visiting artists.
This project proves be the next exciting addition to the Tallahassee public art scene. It serves as an extension of growing art walk culture peppered throughout Gaines Street and Downtown Tallahassee. The project aims to create a major arts and entertainment destination for people to explore just beyond the pedestrian-friendly Cascades Park. By blending artistic expression, environmental design, the project creates a hub of daily activities easily accessible throughout the day and night for residents and visitors alike.
The project will soon host 15 rotating wall canvases nestled among roughly 33,000 square feet of commercial space. The project is currently a home to several tenants which include a modern American cuisine restaurant and distillery, a high-intensity workout gym, and several other soon to open businesses.
The development has garnered praise from several professional organizations, which includes the 2022 AIA Tallahassee Merit Award for the Unbuilt category as well as the 2024 ULI North Florida Award of Excellence for Projects Under $20 Million. Additionally, the development was featured in the Florida/Caribbean Architect Magazine in their Spring 2022 issue.
