What to know about Oshkosh’s new ‘Greetings from Oshkosh’ mural and the artists creating it
OSHKOSH - The traveling artist duo Victor Ving and Lisa Beggs — along with a team of local artists — will be installing a mural on the south side of The Roxy Supper Club, 571 N. Main St., beginning May 18.
The husband-and-wife team have traveled across the world installing postcard-style murals that create landmarks through public art. They have completed more than 60 murals in more than 25 states across America. Oshkosh will be the first city in Wisconsin to have a signature “Greetings Tour” mural.
The “Greetings from Oshkosh” mural will incorporate important landmarks, cultural references, history, nature, and local artist collaborations that are unique and specific to the Oshkosh area, a news release said.
The mural also features the work of Indigenous artist Cainen Shooter, who was commissioned to create one of the letters on the mural.
People can follow the progress of the project and see artists at work May 25 during the Into the Night event, which will feature live art, performances, music and fun for all ages. The event runs 5-9 p.m. throughout the Downtown Oshkosh Business Improvement District.
