Joan Christgau tells the story of the Northwoods through murals

Murals are one of the oldest art forms, dating all the way back to ancient times, when early artists painted on cave walls and rock faces, depicting and affirming the stories and values of their culture. Some millenia later, murals still serve the same purpose and one of the Northwoods’ most prominent storytellers is Minocqua artist Joan Christgau.
