Non-member artists may request a prospectus for these special exhibitions by calling (518) 584-4132 or by downloading a form from this website.

SARATOGA INSIDE - OUT
On hiatus until 2011
Our annual juried Summer exhibition is postponed this year in order to host Views from Saratoga Battlefield.. Preserving Historic Lands, a curatorial proposal organized by the Viewshed Project Committee. This exhibition celebrates New York's Champlain-Hudson-Fulton Quadricentennial, and this year's theme of exploration. Landscapes featured in this exhibit will highlight nationally significant landscapes in eastern Saratoga and western Washington counties which are identified in the American Battlefield Protection Plan. A portion of the sales from the artwork will be donated back to the protection of Saratoga Battlefield.
