Celebrate. Value. Sustain. Fund More Art Everywhere!

Tags: Gallery News


Thousands of community members (including 500+ artists) are positively impacted by Albany Center Gallery’s programs and exhibitions, each year. Together in 2023, we paid $92,000+ directly and another $13,000+ in connected opportunities to 110 artists. That’s over $100,000 back to artists in the community. Supporting art and artists is essential to enrich cultural identity, engage imagination, and inspire us all.

Can we count on your support for local artists and creative community?

Yes? Donate here now. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

75% of ACG's Annual Appeal donors contribute $100 or less.

It all makes a difference.

This past year, ACG hosted 8 in-house exhibitions, 8 pop-up exhibits, 6+ #CapitalWalls tours, as well as 15 youth art programs, (8 in-house at Art.Work.Space.). We also collaborated with 10+ local businesses for private art consulting including a mural in Cohoes and 10+ community organizations for programming, and presented 3 new #CapitalWalls* murals. We served 100+ local youth through interactive free, art-making programs.
