Troy Youth make Public Art

Unity House’s Domestic Violence Services Team are inviting youth ages 10-17 years to join staff in designing and painting new community benches. The benches are to be public seating in the green spaces adjacent to the Kathryn Allen Center for Domestic Violence Services, located at 6 102nd Street in Lansingburgh.  The benches will be a legacy of hope created by youth in the community as a source of beauty, utilitarian function, and inspiration for the neighborhood.

The Arts Center of the Capital Region made this program possible through the Statewide Community Regrant Program, funded by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
