The entryway to Carbondale\u2019s new City Market promises to be as aesthetically pleasing as it is serviceable. When the store opens this fall patrons will be greeted by a 16\u00d75 foot mural, created by local artists, that will include both historic and contemporary aspects of the town as well as the Crystal River Valley\u2019s most iconic symbol \u2014 Mount Sopris.<\/p>\n

The mural\u2019s creators \u2014 artists Reina Katzenberger and Andrew Roberts Gray \u2014had their entry chosen in April from among 15 entries after a call for submissions by Carbondale Arts and The Kroger Co.<\/p>\n

\u201cAndrew and Reina\u2019s submission was selected because of its beautiful layering of local imagery that spoke to the character of the community,\u201d said Bo Wachendorf, Art Project Manager for The Kroger Co. in a news release.<\/p>\n

The foundational element of the mural is Mount Sopris, and Katzenberger said she was initially hesitant to include it because it\u2019s so commonly used in local art. But she eventually came around to the idea.<\/p>\n
