Overview
- Artist Mauricio Ramirez has begun painting an approximately 80-by-100-foot portrait on the Wintrust Financial Center’s north facade at 731 N. Jefferson St.
- The mural will depict Bob Uecker at the microphone from his 54 seasons as the Milwaukee Brewers’ play-by-play announcer.
- Organizers say work is scheduled to finish in early June, followed by a tailgate-style ribbon-cutting with the Uecker family and the Brewers.
- The commission comes from the building’s ownership group with support from Milwaukee Downtown BID #21 and Visit Milwaukee.
- Uecker died in January 2025 at age 90, and the mural is intended as a public tribute to his outsized place in Milwaukee’s civic life.
