Foley Community Library is set to host Alabama muralist Banks Compton for an evening of rich conversation about three projects he has recently completed in partnership with the Mobile Juvenile Courthouse, Baldwin County Solid Waste Disposal Authority (SWDA) and, of course, the library itself.

Stories on the Wall will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 29.

Gulf Coast Media's Kayla Green, whose reporting on Compton won the Alabama Press Association award for best magazine profile feature story in 2026, will moderate a discussion and Q&A panel with Compton and other special guests. The program will also feature an exclusive showcase of his collaborative murals with the Strickland Youth Center, as well as an outdoor exhibit of the interactive SWDA Mobile Adventure Trailer that Compton helped create.

The evening is all about celebrating the powerful connection between art and community. It is free to attend, but please register at: https://foleylibrary.librarycalendar.com/event/banks-compton-presentation-23070#.
