National Youth Art Month is a reminder of the value of art to our communities. It encourages support for quality art programs that offer students opportunities to foster and develop skills that may not be experienced elsewhere. ACG has been at the forefront of integrating youth arts in its community work, providing access to contemporary art and educational opportunities for inner-city youth, hosting field trips and giving lectures, exhibiting young artists and engaging youth in grant-funded workshops.

March 20th is also Companies That Care Day. Sponsorships are available for local businesses that wish to publicly champion the arts in education and in the Capital Region. All sponsorship and event inquiries should be directed to Executive Director Tony Iadicicco at (518) 462-4775 ordirector@albanycentergallery.org. Together, National Youth Art Month and Companies That Care Day remind the community of the importance of art for all age groups and demonstrate the significant support of business impact on culture and youth in the Capital Region.
