I'm back with another episode of "On the Road"
 This time we travelled to Albany NY to attend the Upstate Artists Guild Member Art Show! | |||
As many
communities do, Albany holds a First Friday event. They have a nice lineup of events including
visits to galleries and shops, great restaurants plus a wine bar. There are even after-events, like swing dancing! If you like you can ride the free shuttle bus!

We took the one
and a half hour trip down to attend the opening reception of the Upstate
Artists Guild’s member art show at Stage 1 Gallery .
Stage 1 Gallery, located on North Swan Street, is owned by the Albany Barn; they sponsor First Friday events and generously hosted the UAG art show in their gallery. |
|||
I am a new member of UAG and this was my first show in the
Albany area. I brought down two of my recent abstracts to include in the
member show.
You’ve seen “The Eyes Have It”. I entered it into Munson-Williams-Proctor’s annual Sidewalk Art Show last month. Since it won an award I figured I should show it in the Albany area as well. |
|||
My second piece, “State of the ARTist”.
Both works are available. I am also
working on offering prints. Contact me directly if you are interested in either piece.
| |||
Beyond my e-mails with UAG Vice President, Rebecca Schoonmaker, I had never
met any of the UAG members. I wish we could have stayed longer because I
know I would have enjoyed hanging out afterwards with them.
They are a VERY talented bunch. Here is just a selection of their work -

The show is on exhibit until September 21st so if you get a chance to go by the gallery, GO! I promise it will be well worth the trip!
