Meet me in the Middle
Downtown Albany BID x National Grid
Williams Street Alleyway (Next to MVP Arena) Albany, NY
June 2022
Overview
This path is intended to be a family friendly space, inviting you to slow down, take a deep breath, close your phone, and reconnect with your inner child. This playful mural is a narrative journey as told by a 150 ft. long walkway that illustrates the cosmic connection between heart and spirit. Two “impossible triangles” greet you at each entrance of the walkway. Vibrant bands of color encourage you to step beyond the shadowed doubt of impossible thoughts and welcome a metamorphosis of changes with each step, designed to clear a path to your breakthrough moment; embracing the JOY for life.
