ABOUT THE HAMMOND STREET GROUND MURAL: Bangor Beautiful and Wabanaki Public Health & Wellness (WPHW), two Bangor-based nonprofits, partnered together to create the Hammond Street Ground Mural, a visually stunning piece of public asphalt art on Hammond Street in the heart of Bangor near the future Wabanaki Youth & Cultural Center. The project uses public art designed by Wabanaki artists to tell the important story about our connection to the earth, as well as to beautify and increase pedestrian safety.
