GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A new mural, painted by Beau Thomas, is on the side of Macco Financial Group on Main Street on Green Bay’s eastside.
The mural is part of Art on Main’s “Murals on Main.”
According to the group Art on Main, it’s a public art program “striving to ignite passion and conversation by bringing art out of the galleries and onto the street as a community revitalization enhancement, economic development driver and quality of life improvement.”
Mural creator Beau Thomas tells WLUK…
“We’re right on Main Street here, a pretty big traffic corridor so, it’s got that, kind of, obvious message of enjoying your commute to work or to school. And, it’s also, kind of, a positive attitude for life to enjoy every moment, enjoy the journey, and just be grateful.”
The mural is expected to be finished by the weekend.
And this isn’t Thomas’ first venture.
He painted “The Green Bay Mural” last summer. The picture spans just under 110 feet and it features vibrant colors and iconic locations from around the community.
Downtown Green Bay has also announced on Facebook a coloring contest where kids can submit their own interpretations of the mural.
