Under Consideration:Mural on Ludlow Street
Work sample filed with the city by the racing museum to demonstrate the style of Saratoga Springs artist Celeste Susany, whom the museum has proposed create an exterior 75th anniversary mural.
SARATOGA SPRINGS —The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame is seeking concept approval from the city Design Review Board for a mural to celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2025.
The museum board has selected Saratoga Springs-based artist Celeste Susany for the project and the proposed mural will go on a wall on the Ludlow Street side of the museum. Susany and the museum are applying for a Support for Artists Grant from the NYS Council on the Arts to underwrite the project, according to documents filed with the city.
The proposed mural, in full color scale, would be applied directly upon the museum’s brick wall with paint. The wall’s dimensions are 57 feet, 6 inches in length, by 13 feet, 8 inches in height.
