Albany Center Gallery opened its new location in the Arcade Building at 488 Broadway in Albany on Wednesday, Jan. 18. After 40 years of showcasing local and regional visual artists in various repurposed locations around the city, the new gallery space is ACG’s first home that has been designed specifically for showing art.
In spite of the cold January rain, more than 500 people showed up to view the Member’s Show exhibit, showcasing more than 175 regional artists, and to enjoy locally crafted beverages, food and music by DJ Trumastr. The approximately 2,050 sq. ft. of space on the ground floor of the building was packed wall-to-wall and overflowed into the hallway of the Arcade Building, where refreshments were served.
