MURAL PROJECT 2021
In 2021, more than two dozen artists of New York’s Capital Region have helped bring life to our temporary winter home at the former Price Chopper in the Lansingburgh neighborhood of Troy, N.Y.
Projects ranged from 400 square feet to less than 40 square feet and were located throughout the market. Artists were asked to create pieces that related to the market or the Lansingburgh neighborhood. Check out photos of the murals and read about the artists and their visions below!
We think this project captured the spirit of adaptation our community has had to embrace during this pandemic. The market had to move several times since March 2020, but this brought us closer to new customers and communities.
Sponsors
This project was made possible by our partners, the Arts Center of the Capital Region and the Troy Architectural Project, Inc. (TAP). The project was sponsored by The Collar Factory Lofts by Redburn Development Partners, The Church artist studios and event space, Troy Innovation Garage, Bard & Baker, and 1 Monument Square by Hoboken Brownstone Co. The Arts Center of the Capital Region, Hatchet Hardware and Passonno Paints donated painting supplies and MAC equipment donated for the use of two lifts. Additional support comes from small donations collected at the market from vendors and customers. ( Read press release about The Mural Project 2021. )
