| The Arts Center in downtown Troy. |
It is a public downtown art light festival that will begin on Sunday, December 4, and run through January 9, 2023.
"Troy Glow" will consist of six site-specific outdoor installations of light-based art created by artists from throughout the Capital Region. Organizers say they chose this time of the year when there is the least amount of daylight. In addition to those installations, seven partnering organizations will be participating in various capacities, for a total of 13 sites in a walkable route through downtown Troy.
“Like all small cities, Troy really took a hit,” Arts Center CEO Elizabeth Reiss said. “We wanted to
invite people, through art, to return to Troy and support the restaurants, businesses, and arts
intuitions that make it such a rich cultural hub in the Capital Region. And, bonus, we can do that
by paying artists to make beautiful things.”
The installations officially will be lit at 5 p.m. Sunday, December 4, in coordination with the
lighting of the City’s Christmas tree in Monument Square and the City's annual "Victorian Stroll." Each art installation will be lit
and on view every night from sundown at 4:30 p.m. through 10 p.m. To see every installation, the entire "Troy Glow" walk will take approximately 25 minutes, organizers say.
