The project was launched through a partnership between the Albany Convention Center Authority and the Albany Center Gallery. Artist Michael Conlin has reportedly spent the past week painting the mural, which measures 52-feet tall and 86-feet wide.
“Albany is where I explored my work as an artist, and it is home to many of my friends and family,” Conlin said.
