Hallowell History
Chris Cart's design encompasses Hallowell's fascinating 400+ year history—from pre-colonial days, through the Revolution and into the present day music & arts scene.
Mural Process
The 700 square foot mural (29ft x 24ft) is being painted on canvas with professional mural paints with a process designed by the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program.
Our Artist
Our artist Chris Cart—a master muralist in the prime of his career and long time Hallowell resident—has more than a dozen major murals around Maine, in Seattle and Washington D.C.
Fundraising Goal
40000
Keep the Artist Fed
The Hallowell mural has been more than a 2 year project...
...so far.
We are raising funds to keep our master mural artist Chris Cart painting, so he can finish the mural on schedule for unveiling in 2020. We are going to raise another 10,000 to keep him painting this winter so we can unveil the mural in the spring of 2020 for part of Maine’s birthday celebrations.
