Albany High art students recognized

The work of five Albany High School art students was selected by the Capital Area Art Supervisors to be part of the 20th Annual High School Regional Juried Art Exhibition.

The City School District of Albany submitted 24 pieces, this year held at Albany Center Gallery, and the judges accepted works by Maxine Sarfo (junior), Aangelique Gonzalez (senior), Nazanin Mosavi (sophomore), Lily Rice (sophomore) and Erik Smits (junior).

In total, 516 works were submitted from 24 local school districts and 107 were chosen.

Due to the size limitations at the Albany Center Gallery, there will be two openings. The Albany Center Gallery will open the exhibit for the public during Albany's First Friday on April 5 and a reception specifically for the student artists, along with their family and friends, will be held on Thursday, April 4 from 5-8:00 p.m.

Congratulations to our artists on such an important and prestigious recognition.
