The Albany Rock Project was inspired by Bree’s work as a social-emotional educator and coupled with the desire to return to the Albany area to support hometown students during the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bree believes that the project will not only, support physical activity, visual arts education, and mindfulness among Albany’s youth, but will also help to expand advertising and exposure for small local businesses, tourist attractions, and hidden gems throughout the city.
