Neighborhood of Schenectady, New York.

The Jerry Burrell Arts Collaborative was formed in 2023 to tell the story of Jerry Burrell and the creation
of Jerry Burrell Park through a series of community-led art installations. The “Through Your Mother’s
Eyes” mural is the first in a series of several installations that will be installed.
The initiative is being facilitated by four community-focused organizations: the Hamilton Hill Arts Center,
Mutual Design, LAndArt Studio and the Seat Center.

The mural and the celebration was made possible with funding from The Schenectady Foundation, The
Carlillian Foundation, Creatives Rebuild New York, the City of Schenectady, and funds from the
Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts
with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by
the Arts Center of the Capital Region.
