Earlier this week, a new art mural was unveiled in the City of Troy. The three-story work that pays homage to the city\u2019s history was the result of a collaboration with Midwest-based artist Greg Gossel and the Arts Center of the Capital Region.<\/p>\n
At the main gateway of the city\u2019s downtown, pastel oranges, yellows and blues draw onlookers toward the center of the mural, which sports a figure wearing boxing gloves, a hat, and a tattoo with the year the city was established. <\/p>\n
To learn more about the creative process behind the mural, WAMC’s Samantha Simmons met with Gossel as he was wrapping up his painting. We began with Gossel describing the mural.<\/p>\n
The project was funded by the New York State Downtown Revitalization Initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earlier this week, a new art mural was unveiled in the City of Troy.
