Honorary Committee | 2023 Gala

You're invited to join the Honorary Committee of the sweetest soiree of the year. This year's annual Gala fundraiser will take place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, November 18, 2023 at Scarlet Knife in Latham. 

For 45+ years, ACG has been promoting and exhibiting art produced by the region’s emerging and established artists as well as engaging, enriching, and inspiring the community to appreciate the importance of art. Thousands of the area’s finest contemporary artists have exhibited at Albany Center Gallery, and many of the artists gain national and international recognition afterwards. Our reach extends beyond the walls of the Gallery, working with the community through public art projects and art programming. Through these pursuits, the Gallery consistently reaches over 50,000 individuals annually.
