The Chamber is excited to be a part of a brand new initiative in town!
Art on the Rail Trail (ART)
is a new initiative designed to bring public art installations to the
Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail.
ART was conceived of as a means to enrich the lives of visitors to the Rail Trail and to encourage usage of the trail by local residents as well as regional visitors.
This new committee of the
Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy is a collaboration between town residents, local non-profits, with town, county and Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce representation. While the ultimate goal is to see various mediums of art up and down the trail, the pilot project consists of one mural to be painted this year. The mural will be painted on the side wall of the town-owned building located at the intersection of the rail trail and Adams St.
Help them reach their fundraising goal of $10,000 -
for more information on the
project and ways you can help donate,
visit their
website
or connect on social media.

Thank you for your continued support of our Chamber and the community!
