Students from the Albany Museum of Art’s Teen Art Board were hard at work Monday painting a mural on the north exterior wall of The Cookie Shoppe at 115 N Jackson St.

Each school year, the Teen Art Board, completes a project for the Albany community with a focus on the youth. In Fall 2023 they began brainstorming the idea of a downtown mural.

Annie Vanoteghem, the AMA’s education and public programming director, said the students wanted to aid in revitalizing Albany’s downtown.
