Albany International Airport Gallery

	The Albany International Airport Gallery, a dedicated 2500 square foot space, has become a destination for more than 150,000 visitors annually and one of the premier exhibition venues in the Capital Region, Southern Vermont and Western Massachusetts. Since its inception in 1998, the Art & Culture Program director and staff have curated exhibitions that are wide-ranging in thematic content and appeal, provide a rewarding experience for people of all ages and background, and have gained a reputation for excellence among travelers and the regional arts community. The Program, and the Gallery in particular, has been recognized in local and national publications for the innovative content and quality of its exhibitions.
Highly attended public receptions are hosted to mark the opening of each exhibit and catalogs are produced for many of the contemporary art presentations. Gallery exhibitions are designed with great attention to visual detail and to upholding professional standards of security and object integrity. Artists interested in learning more about exhibition opportunities should go to the Opportunities for Artists section of this website for further information. Located before the security checkpoint, the Gallery shares the third floor with the Observation Area and is conveniently accessible to travelers and non-travelers alike. Gallery hours are 7:00 am - 11:00 pm daily.

	Out of This World, Gallery View
Within this world and all around us march the familiar products of manufacture, interceded by the tenacious sprouting of life in all its variability. By entangling the stuff of industry with elements in nature, artists are often able to describe territories that are unearthly. The seven artists featured in this exhibition tap the reservoirs of our known world to create forms that we feel both acquainted with and transported by.
