Social Art Gallery
The Social Art Gallery is an initiative of Family and Children’s Service of the Capital Region and was created to bring groups of people together to find community and fellowship through evocative and meaningful visual images that reflect their perceptions, thoughts, and feelings. Traditionally, people of like experiences gather for the official art opening with a formal program of authentic, informative, and interesting artists and speakers and delectable refreshments. The gallery hosts a number of exhibits annually.
