Albany Center Gallery to host reception for 'Light Within Layers' exhibit

Fabrics, mixed media collages, embroideries and oil paintings from eight local and regional artists are on display at the Albany Center Gallery.

“Light Within Layers” explores the stories found within, diving into the subconscious to shed light on existence itself.

Tony Iadicicco is executive director of the downtown space. He says artists drew inspiration from their own experiences to create the pieces on display:
