33rd Photo Regional Opens June 3rd.
Photo Regional to Open at Albany Center Gallery
The 33rd Photo Regional will open on Friday, June 3 and run until July 16 at the Albany Center Gallery. An opening reception will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. as a part of First Friday.
From nearly 500 submissions―a near record―35 images created by 30 artists comprise the exhibit.
Artists selected include Jeffrey Altman, Steven Rolf Kroeger, Mark McCarthy, Jenny McShan, Linda Morrell, Anthony Salamone and Dave Waite.
It was curated by Ian Berry, of the Tang Teaching Museum and Melissa Stafford from Carrie Haddad Photographs Gallery in Hudson. Tim Kane, independent arts journalist, was associate curator.
The Photo Regional remains a mainstay of the local photography scene as a source highlighting the region’s diversity in the medium. Started in response to the lack of venues staging exhibitions with photography as fine art, the rotating and yearly survey provides a snapshot on recent activity in the field within a 100-mile radius of Albany.
An awards ceremony will follow the opening a week later on Saturday June 11 at 6 to 8 p.m. An awards ceremony will start at 7 p.m. McGreevey Photo and Pro Press, the Opalka Gallery at the Sage Colleges and Albany Center Gallery will each hand out cash prizes.
