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.

Next! Did you miss ‘Margin of Error’ last month at the Barn? No worries! @ninepincider has partnered up with us for First Friday where you can see works by Barn tenant @alex_h2o and local artist @obliviousthedeep while you enjoy some savory cider along with your visit.
HOLD UP! We’re not done! Our dope events coordinator @brennlex will be tabling at the Ezra Prentice Homes with @albanyhousingauthority and lots of other vendors to bring art, grilling and the community together starting at 4:30pm!
And finally, you can find lots of @albanybarn creatives work at the @albanycentergallery event celebrating 45 years of Art and community. Don’t miss pieces by @collagesista, drumming with @jordantaylorhill and an enormous amount of local art coming together in a truly beautiful Friday night.
I’m not sure what you’ll be doing Friday night, but Albany’s community will be out and thriving. Make sure you stop by.
