The mission of Albany Center Gallery is to exhibit and promote contemporary visual art produced by emerging and established artists living primarily within a 100-mile radius of Albany and to inspire interest to an increasingly diverse audience. For 30 years, Albany Center Gallery has provided a platform for the work of contemporary visual artists to engage the public. Albany Center Gallery strives to encourage dialogue and critical commentary about the visual arts within the region. Albany Center Gallery is dedicated to the exhibition of regional artists within a 100-mile radius of Albany. Since Leslie Urbach opened the gallery’s doors in 1977, 1,000 of the area’s finest contemporary artists have exhibited at Albany Center Gallery using the following disciplines: painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, printing, fiber arts, video, mixed media, installation, and most recently artist books.

All of Albany Center Gallery’s exhibitions, receptions, and artist interviews are free and open to the public. The exhibitions are chosen based on topics that address a broad and diverse audience. The gallery space is fully handicapped accessible.

Open Tuesday through Saturday noon-5:00 p.m. Don´t forget to visit our Gift Shop!
