Photos: Follow local artists’ 4-year process to create, install ‘The Hallowell Mural’

Back in July 2019, Hallowell artists Christopher Cart and Jen Greta Cart worked together in City Hall improvising a compass with a tape measure and pencil to draw a large circle on the 700 square feet of canvas sections taped together that would guide the composition of his Hallowell mural project.
