PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 9-23-2020

Green Bay Neighborhoods and Astor Neighborhood Association Mural Award Announcement of the “Foxtrot” by Artist Beau Thomas.

The Astor Neighborhood Association (ANA) in partnership with Green Bay’s Neighborhoods received a grant for a mural to be painted on the east side of the Monroe and Mason underpass. The Mural design by Beau Thomas called the “Foxtrot” will be installed in September. It features a large “Welcome to Astor” greeting with a fox walking towards the neighborhood. The design highlights and promotes the name and brand of Astor, references local wildlife, the Fox River, the fur trade, and celebrates our resilience to winter.

The ANA is holding this announcement in conjunction with Good Neighbor Week to highlight the arts and its importance to connecting neighbors with the history of our community. This beautification project will be placed under the Mason Street overpass on the east side of Monroe Avenue.

The announcement will take place at the site on Saturday September 26th at 10AM.

The mission of the Astor Neighborhood Association is to maintain the integrity, vitality, and diversity of the Astor community through the protection and preservation of its history, neighborhoods, and architecture.
