+ The Gift of Art
+ November 27th, 2008 at 11:32 AM
For the past three years the Upstate Artists Guild has been dedicated to providing both a gallery space for local artists and a community resource for arts-related instruction and idea sharing.
In this short time we have been home to the work of more than 400 artists; have seen our membership grow to include more than 100 community-focused and amazingly artistic minds; and have initiated and administered 1st Friday – a monthly arts event pulling in more than 30,000 patrons in just two years, and have since become regular participants in our sister events Troy Night Out and Schenectady Art Night. We’ve been approached to participate in and host multiple city events including First Night, Winterfest, Art on Lark, Tulip Fest, LarkFest, Champagne on the Park, and Winter WonderLARK; become the host of monthly poetry, film, and music events in conjunction with Albany Poets, Jawbone Reading Series, and the Albany Sonic Arts Collective; and have worked with local community groups such as the College of Saint Rose Student Art League, the Clearview Center, the Albany and New York Bicycle Coalitions, the Edwood Film Festival, the Upstate Independents, the Mohawk and Hudson River Humane Society, Grand Street Community Arts, and the ARC to provide exciting events and support.
None of this would be possible without the support of our members, our artists, and our community.
The Upstate Artists Guild is a not-for-profit community arts organization fueled entirely by donated time and money – a collaboration of hard-working and single-minded volunteers. We have become known as a center for arts in Albany and a unifying force among the wealth of Upstate New York’s arts.
We now reach out to the community for support to keep us here on Lark Street and ensure continued growth and support for your local arts. Please help however you can by giving a gift to art:

+ An End to Art, Freedom, and Democracy
+ March 12th, 2008 at 9:26 AM
On March 11th, the city of Troy shut down an ongoing art exhibit at the The Sanctuary for Independent Media, suspending use of the building until cited code violations are addressed. This comes "less than 24 hours after an inspection by code enforcement and fire officials cleared the building for use." This also comes less than one day after the re-opening of an interactive piece entitled "Virtual Jihadi" by Iraqi-born U.S. citizen Wafaa Bilal.
The UAG is both dumbfounded and outraged by the scare tactics we've observed being used against a fellow grassroots arts organization and gallery. You can read our official response here.
To find out more and get involved visit freetroyletters.wordpress.com to contact RPI and the City of Troy, or www.mediasanctuary.org to donate.

+ UAG Fundraiser a Great Success
+ March 3rd, 2008 at 8:50 AM
Thanks to all of our members who donated artwork, all the attendees who showed their support for the UAG, and Envy Lounge, COSMOs and PINTs, and Cirque de la Nocturne for creating such a fun event. Many pieces were auctioned for more than their stated value, and there were quite a few "steals" as well -- best of all more than forty pieces of amazing art found new homes, with the proceeds going to the UAG. You can find pictures of the event here.

The UAG is pleased to announce some very exciting recurring events for the new year. The Albany Sonic Arts Collective will be presenting a monthly event at the UAG gallery, continuing their success from previous events (here and here). We've also teamed up with Albany Poets and Jawbone to present Poetry at the UAG, with readings from local poets every second and fourth Friday of the month. A full schedule will be posted soon.
We're also excited about our upcoming silent art auction to benefit the UAG, hosted by Envy Lounge on February 28th. You can find more information on the event and how to get involved or donate artwork here.
Beginning in March the UAG will be bringing a new event to After 1st Fridays entitled 1st Friday Films, for which we have an open call for submissions. We've also got a slew of classes and workshops planned which you can find more information on here.
We look forward to seeing you at the gallery soon!
