About the Photo Regional:
Since the late 1970s, the Annual Photography Regional has celebrated photographers from within a 125-mile radius of Albany, showcasing diverse perspectives, stories, and creative approaches from across the region. The Regional brings together emerging and established photographers and highlights photography as both an art form and a way to document people, places, and moments.
Every three years, Albany Center Gallery presents the Regional as a salon-style exhibition along with the SELECT exhibit, with select works recognized through juried awards and prizes.
This exhibition is made possible by Carlsbury Gonzalez & Patricia Triller, William Harris, Esq. & Holly Katz, and the New York Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and New York State Legislature. Additional exhibition support from Jean Paduano-Teal & Larry Teal. Additional support for Albany Center Gallery by Advance Albany County Alliance Arts & Culture Grant Funding Program, made possible through the support of Albany County.
