“There is nowhere else that I would go in the entire capital region to get something framed. Everyone here is so friendly and incredibly talented and knowledgable when it comes to their craft. I brought an old map of Albany from a 1945 directory that was ripped and yellowed, they made this map look brand new with museum grade glass and a perfect wooden frame. 11/10. I recommend this place to anyone looking to get something framed.”
“Excellent work. Extensive selection of frame and matting options. The owner really takes the time to offer you many choices. Competitive and fair pricing. I feel very confident in recommending this Shop. Sure beats going to the Big Box craft stores! Support Local!!”

“This was my first performance at the Albany Barn. The play "MRS. PACKARD" was so well done. The acting was impressive and riveting. I was greeted by one of the members as I entered who gave me a brief orientation of the building and the residents who live there. I strongly recommend this to anyone who loves the arts and wishes to support the Albany art community. Bravo!”
“Took a class decorating Ukrainian eggs. Karen, instructor,was wonderful. The Art Room is a cool,creative place with beautiful art to see and some to buy. A fun experience!”
“Great local center where they are reaching out in the community to connect local artists to kids. With the goal being to get them interested in a positive ways of expressing themselves through many different art medias.”
“So happy to have such a fantastic art center in the area. I have taken a bunch of classes: stained glass, fused glass, embroidery, encaustic painting and have enjoyed every one. They have such a wide variety of classes.”
“Chris did beautiful work with my new cushion covers. I purchased a black and white animal graphic #marimekko fabric years ago and she matched the animal pattern so much better than I ever imagined possible for the 2 chair sets. Totally love her work!!”
“If you want to make art, but thought you never could, go see Eileen LaBarge at Creative Art Time Studio in Delmar. She is a dedicated teacher with a no-fail method, who can walk you through from the very beginning through drawing, painting, and sculpture. Her studio is informal, peaceful, yet full of creative energy and Eileen's own beautiful sculptures. She is patient and encouraging with all her students. Her studio is a place to realize your dreams.”
“We enjoyed night 1 of 10 of TroyGlow. It was a wonderful way to explore a small slice of Troy and enjoy easily accessible artwork situated throughout.
Bravo!”
“Phil was super accommodating and did fantastic work repairing a piece of expensive and complex laboratory glassware! A great shop to work with, he worked quickly and helped me save a ton of money by not sending the item back to the manufacturer! Very happy to support local”
“Art gallery attached to Russell Sage college. Used for student and community exhibitions. No fee. Clean bathroom. Parking. I stopped by for the exhibition on maps. It was very artsy...but I'm not very artsy so I was underwhelmed. By the time you read this, the exhibition may have changed And you are a different person than I. Go and support the arts! (Even if you are not an artsy person)”
“I love going here and finding things for my space at Artcentric. The owner Deb is very personable and inviting. It’s always good just to stop in to see if there is anything you can get that you may not know you needed or if you need a unique gift for someone. I highly recommend stopping in!”

“Luanne fixed my camera for free and gave me advice on how to prevent what happened again! She was super knowledgeable and she adjusted my camera settings to make sure I’d get the best quality photos out of my camera as well. I really recommend this place if you’re looking around to shop for cameras or get yours fixed.”
