SEVIERVILLE - Tanger Sevierville debuts a new large-scale mural, marking one of the final milestones in the center’s extensive renovation that began early last year. The piece further elevates the shopping destination and reflects Tanger’s mission to engage the community in creating a true hub for guests to shop, gather and recharge.

The stunning Great Smoky Mountains scene on the service route wall spans 110 feet and is painted by local artist Shane Sanberg. Sanberg is also a Sevierville-based UPS driver who delivers daily to Tanger Sevierville. This partnership reinforces Tanger Sevierville’s commitment to honoring and building the community it serves. The mural likewise honors the area’s Appalachian heritage, weaving local culture into the guest experience.

“I wanted to create a detailed landscape artwork of the Great Smoky Mountains, entirely from different types and colors of wood grain,” said Sanberg. “Each mountain layer is represented by a unique wood texture and tone, ranging from deep walnut browns to lighter maple, oak, cherry and birch shades, fading into the distance. I also incorporated the natural direction of the wood grain to suggest movement in the mountains, ridges and rolling valleys. My goal was for the final piece to feel warm, earthy and dimensional, as though assembled from hand-cut and polished wooden pieces – no overly dramatic colors, only the natural beauty of wood varieties creating depth, light and atmosphere.”

“The Great Smoky Mountains are woven in the culture of our community, and commissioning a local artist with roots in East Tennessee was vital to this project being able to resonate with our customer,” said Tanger Sevierville General Manager Nicole Rosmus. “At Tanger, our mission is to create shopping destinations that entertain, inspire, and bring our communities together. This mural reflects how proud we are to be a part of this special region, and Shane’s direct connection to the center, working alongside us every day with UPS, makes the connection to our community even more special.”

Tanger Sevierville visitors can now enjoy the sweeping painted mountains located behind Under Armour. Shoppers will also find new amenities around the center, including areas designed to enhance the guest experience by providing shaded seating, firepits, a family play area and more. Revitalized landscaping and hardscape elements, including whimsical new woodland animal sculptures that celebrate local wildlife, elevate the center’s style and add new vibrancy. Renovations are expected to be completed in Spring 2026.
