Clell Gannon Mural Discovered

Click on the images below for more information about the photos.

1 Clell Gannon Image

Clell Gannon lived an adventuresome life as a regionally-known artist, poet, and historian. He also created a charming stone home in Bismarck, just a few blocks from our Foundation offices. You can view several of his murals at the Burleigh County Courthouse. We also house some of his artwork in our museum collections.

5 DeAnne Billings photographing mural Image

Media Specialist DeAnne Billings begins photographing two adjacent strips of a mural. Similar to a quilter, she’ll digitally stitch the pieces together to create two murals.

Loose paint flecks are carefully removed from the panels by Jenny Yearous and Lori Nohner, one small brushstroke at a time.
