Below is our favorite map of the REN ART WLK by 12 year old Chrissy from Rensselaer. We liked it so much that we made it the official map! Added are the numbers to match the location of the murals. While you experience the art walk, please engage with our downtown businesses, you never know who may have an indoor mural (like the Station). Happy exploring!
