An Artful Evening

This year we have combined our two signature events - the Museum Gala and Work of Art - into one, An Artful Evening. Chaired by Deborah Groesbeck Bennett and Dr. John Bennett, this event will bring us together virtually to celebrate the rich cultural landscape of our region. The evening will feature a silent auction of works by contemporary artists, continuing the Institute's support of our vibrant community of regional artists. Proceeds from the auction are shared between the Albany Institute and the artist.

An Artful Evening is the museum's only fundraiser this year. By combining our signature events, we have significantly reduced overhead so that your support will go directly to exhibitions and education programs at a time where we need it most. your support of An Artful Evening will enable us to continue fulfilling our mission of connecting people to art and history and each other, both in person and virtually.
