A giant fox mural now graces the Fox Theater, part of a Salinas City Center Improvement Association initiative.

For her largest mural to date, Lisa Haas took inspiration from the architectural style of Oldtown Salinas, and also from the building itself.

One of her design concepts for the back wall of the Fox Theater on Main Street is an angular fox, and that’s the concept that the Salinas City Center Improvement Association and the property owner selected. It took Haas and a team about two weeks to complete the project, after they started with 60-foot-tall lifts that turned out to be too short—she had to try again with 85-foot lifts.

“Looking at a giant wall can seem intimidating,” says Haas, a Monterey-based decorative painter and muralist. “But once you get into it, it’s not.”
