RFP 2024-097 - Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail Art Installation

The County of Albany is seeking proposals for Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail Art Installation as requested by the Albany County Department of Public Works, in partnership with the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy Art on the Rail Trail (ART) Committee.
The Albany County Department of Public Works is looking for qualified artists or artist teams to design and install a mural along a section of the Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail under the bridge that crosses over New Scotland Road in Slingerlands. An add alternate option includes the painting of the bridge structure itself.
This project aims to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the area surrounding the Rail Trail and to showcase local art. Elligbile applicants must have proven experience in mural painting or large scale public art projects. The art can be any style, but should focus on the themes of history and nature that allow it to blend in with the surrounding community.
