. . . . There are many, many "associations" and "groups" who have helped us along the way. One that sticks out in my mind right now is the UAG. The United Artists Guild have bent over backwards to give us everything to make money for the gallery. I think that deserves one heck of a pat on the back.
The Town of Colonie has us as their guest every month. Every single month the janitors and maintenance people set up the tables and chairs, the mikes and mirrors. They are just one fabulous energetic bunch of people. St. Matthew's Church is also a spirited group that allows us to fill their space on board nights, days for art instruction from Kristin Woodward, and some evenings too.
The Schodack Town Hall has been so gracious to allow us to hang our work in their facility month after month.
The East Greenbush Library has also opened their arms to us; allowing us to exhibit in a show.
Thank you to all; it IS appreciated. . . . .
