Save the date for @albanybarn , @electriccitybarn

Save the date for @albanybarn , @electriccitybarn , and @albanywinefest 2022 FUSION- a weeklong celebration of the arts- in person and online.
This year, in planning for a full return to our FUSION anti-gala, we were faced with a question: How do we bring everyone together for the FUSION event we all know and love while also honoring not only our 2 sites, but also the needs and priorities of our supporters in a post-pandemic world?
By turning our Friday-night party into a weeklong celebration of the arts!
Save the dates for Monday October 10 through Friday October 14, 2022!

PS: If you are interested in sponsoring just one night or even the whole week, check out our website for more information.

So excited to see you all again.
Welcome back to the Barn.

PhD Student Vincent Meyers living in Albany, origi

PhD Student Vincent Meyers living in Albany, originally from Houston, TX who worked for Wade Wilson Art for 4 years and contributed art reviews for 4 years with the Bowerbird in Lubbock, TX was generous enough to write a really great review of our most recent exhibition, 'Margin of Error'. Check it out in the slide or click through to our bio link to read it on Albany Barn's Website.
Happy Tuesday!

Please take a moment to look into @thehistoricalba

Please take a moment to look into @thehistoricalbanyfoundation aand the mazing and necessary addition to our community for the Tool Lending Library. Wednesday August 24, 4-6PM marks the opening.
Why a Tool Library?
Libraries of ‘things’ have been growing in popularity as an antidote to waste, the excess of consumerism, and the issue of ongoing inequality.
For a minimal annual fee of $20, all members will be able to borrow items as and when they need them. Tools are often expensive and for many people do not represent a meaningful investment, in that they may only be used a handful of times, are for one project, or are only used at certain times of the year. The Tool Library will not only promote a sharing economy but will also empower the residents of the Capital Region by showing them how to use the tools.
In short, our aim for the Tool Library is to:
- Provide tools to make home maintenance and preservation more accessible to all
- Empower individuals by teaching them skills
- Create an active sharing economy and community
- Help the Environment
