January Artist Spotlight! 🤩 If you live in the Fox Cities, you know Irineo E. Medina (@_i.m.art_ ). His colorful and compelling murals tell stories inspired by the community: “It comes from the untold stories of those that might find themselves in the background,” he says. “Whether that’s literally painting community members on walls to having their stories inform the way that I paint them. I feel a strong responsibility to uplift marginalized populations, specifically black and brown peoples.” Learn more: https://foxcitiesmagazine.com/columns/irineo-medina/.

We love celebrating the Fox Cities, especially seeing it through your eyes! Have you noticed our “The Place We Call Home,” featuring photos from you, in each magazine? 🍂
“Come October, the Fox Cities become engulfed in the fire of fall color as the leaves change. Photographer Joe Lukasik took this picture in Neenah between the Kimberly Point Lighthouse and Riverside Park. ‘What caught my eye was the simplistic beauty of the iron frame bench draped in a mosaic of freshly fallen leaves,’ he says. ‘It seemed to capture the spirit of the season.’”
