Last winter, Fayetteville Arts Council selected two artists, Jeremy Navarette and Austin Floyd, to paint murals on either end of a tall winding concrete retaining wall along Archibald Yell, a busy historic highway in South Fayetteville. Navarette completed his mural last week over three days. Floyd plans to complete his mural this weekend, and welcomes visitors to stop by.
