Downtown Albany mural walking tour
There's a walking tour of downtown Albany's murals June 27. And it's free, though the organizers do ask that your RSVP.
The tour is a collaboration between LocalXDesign, Albany Center Gallery, Albany Barn, and ParkAlbany. Blurbage:
The event will begin at the Albany Center Gallery at 5:45PM. After a brief description of the #CapitalWalls program led by curator Tony Iadicicco, we will embark on a walking tour with the mural artists who will share their artwork, process, and perspective. The tour will end at the English Pub's outdoor patio, where we'll continue discussions inspired by the murals.
Downtown Albany has been the site a handful of new and engaging murals the last year or two:
+ The bluebirds on the side of the Quackenbush Parking Garage by Michael Conlin (above).
+ The colorful pattern mural on the other side of the Quackenbush by Hellbent.
+ Murals by Sylvie Kantorovitz and Cara Hanley on the Green-Hudson Parking Garage.
+ And the map-inspired mural by Rachel Baxter on a 787 support wall along Water Street.
The walking tour is Wednesday, June 27 starting at 5:45 pm.

Who did the mural of the man wearing a black and white striped suit and matching hat with the heartbeat pulses and he's drawing a heart? This is on the outside of the green hudson garage facing towards broadway which can be seen from the broadway station-suny plaza bus stop.
