2 BLOCKS OF MURALS IN TROY, NY! ON CHURCH STREET - BETWEEN STATE + FERRY STREETS

Troy Art Block has been named
the #1 Best New Festival in the country

by USA Today!

Troy Art Block 2023-2024

What is Troy Art Block?

In October 2023, the Arts Center produced Troy’s first open-air gallery!

Troy Art Block is a new public art program developed by The Arts Center to create a distinctive urban experience for visitors and residents who use Troy’s historic alleys as thoroughfares. In 2023, we curated and produced 28 temporary murals spanning two blocks of the Church Street alley, between State & Ferry Streets, in downtown Troy.

This massive public art installation has created a unique destination for art lovers throughout the region. We hope to present a new public art festival here every two years.

As the first open-air gallery in the Capital Region, Troy Art Block attracts customers to Troy’s locally-owned businesses and showcases talent from our wonderful creative community, in a public space, for all to enjoy.
