20, 2008. All artworks created after 2004 and in ready to hang condition
are eligible. We understand that $50 is a big stretch for some of
you with limited income, therefore; please know Albany Center Gallery
will acknowledge a contribution, no matter what size, as a gift
of membership. Your membership is crucial to the success of Albany
Center Gallery and significantly helps sustain our mission and expand

of Chicago. He has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions
and was honored in 2001 with a Forty Year Retrospective exhibition
at the Tang Museum. His work is displayed in several museums and
is in over 500 corporate and private collections. In addition, he
has received major grant awards including one from the National
Endowment for the Arts and another from the New York Foundation
for the Arts. Miller will select Best in Show and three honorable
mentions. A cash prize in the amount of $250 will be awarded to
the artist who created the Best in Show. A gift certificate to Arlene’s
Artist Materials will be presented to all honorable mentions. The
awards will be presented at the Opening Reception to be held on
Friday, December 5 between 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in conjunction
