26th Annual High School Regional Juried Exhibition

From March 21 to April 18, 2025, Albany Center Gallery (ACG) presents the 26th Annual High School Regional Juried Exhibition, featuring the work of regional high school students.

Private artists, family, teachers, and friends reception (not open to the public): Contact Andrew at info@albanycentergallery.org for details

The public Artists’ Reception will be held on Friday, April 4 from 5 - 8 p.m.

The exhibition features numerous works of art made by students from various high schools around the Capital Region, selected by jurors. The High School Regional highlights the importance of having arts programming within schools, cultivating imagination, and sharing the arts with youth; even at a young age. In years past, teachers from all over the Capital Region have sent in hundreds of diverse student works that demonstrate the varying skills and ideas of a large group of young, burgeoning creatives. The wide-ranging selection of works reflect the unique perspectives of our next generation through the powerful outlet of art. The High School Regional was put together in collaboration with the New York State Art Teacher’s Association, Region 6, and the Capital Area Art Supervisors.

Art inspires youth to be engaged with their community and themselves. The youth are the future; let’s continue to support them and their creative voices.

The jurors for the 26th Annual High School Regional Juried Exhibition include:
