Times Union Home Expo
Tags: Gallery News
Albany Center Gallery and Times Union Home Expo are coming together to support local artists and bring their unique artwork into the home. This year’s showcase provides attendees with the opportunity to take home an original piece of local art, highlighting the importance of supporting local artists and the community and emphasizing art as a significant visual element in the home. The show is another reminder of the role art can play in the home –stimulating, relaxing, thought-provoking, or simply for aesthetic benefit. The Home Show Exhibition is part of the Albany Center Gallery’s mission, seeking to promote the local art scene through the development of a wider audience and fostering relationships with the greater artistic community. This show is the perfect opportunity for people to view and enjoy some of the area’s best art and support local artists while adding unique value and beauty to their home. Make sure to stop by the gallery’s display space in the Times Union Center during the Home Expo and experience living with art!
