The Troy Art Block artists have been chosen! After an open call in August, 27 local and out-of-town artists have been chosen to paint murals in Church Street alley between Congress and Ferry Streets. These murals, painted in one week, will create the most dense concentration of public art in the Capital Region!

Painting starts early next week, and will culminate with a live paint day and block party on Saturday October 14. The Troy Art Block Party is being produced by partners at the Downtown Troy BID and local businesses including The Ruck, Mi Casa, and Rare Form Brewery.
