You can be part of a new community mural in Green Bay that Sturgeon Bay native Zane Statz has begun across from Lambeau Field on Lombardi Avenue. Statz, a graphic artist and 2010 Sturgeon Bay High School graduate, has been painting a Packers Fence since its inception in 2014. This year's newly painted mural will be on a 70-foot-long and six-foot-high fence. With the help of the community volunteers the "paint-by-numbers" artwork will be done over three days leading up to the Packer home opener on Sunday, September 24 against the New Orleans Saints. Statz says the public can get involved on Saturday and help finish the mural titled “A New Era" which will cover the "Tradition of Excellence" artwork he did eight years ago.
Statz will complete the layout for the fence mural on September 21st and 22nd and welcome anyone to help from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. to complete the painting project Saturday, September 24th weather permitting. You can join in on the project without signing up by showing up at the area directly across from the Atrium on Lombardi Avenue.
