Description

The Arts Center of the Capital Region is seeking qualified and experienced mural artists to design and execute a large-scale mural at 400 River Street in Downtown Troy, NY. The mural will span approximately 33’ x 44’ (1,450 sq. ft.) and serve as a highly visible gateway landmark that reflects the spirit and diversity of Troy. This mural should celebrate the community’s identity, fostering a sense of connection while honoring the people, stories, and culture that define Troy. Potential themes for the mural can include imagery inspired by Troy’s natural and built environment—such as the Hudson River and its valley, New York State’s flora and fauna, Troy’s historic architecture and monuments, or other symbols of the city. Community gateway murals often incorporate cultural and historical representation, themes of unity and connectivity, nature and landscape elements, abstract or symbolic design, and inspirational words or messages. Funded through New York State’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative.
