When you visit the Albany internatinal airport and walk up to the third floor, you will find a beautiful art gallery. With light streaming from windows overlooking the busy airfield, Concourse A boasts 130 linear feet of wall space that functions as an auxiliary exhibition area to the third floor Gallery. With the advent of this new space in 2005, the Program broadened its ability to showcase the work of regional artists in biannual one person and thematic group shows as well as exhibits from other regional art centers and galleries. There have been different types of exhibits at the airport with Scene/Reseen July 2008-January 2009, Joy Taylor: Drawings January-June 2009, Surface Tension in June 2009-January 2010, The best of SUNY in June- January 2010 and Benjamin Swett, Route 22 from June 2010 to January 2011.
Going to the Albany international airport was not your normal day feeling of going to an art gallery, rathery it was a personal expience that you have alone looking at the paintings and trying to get sense of what they art wants you to feel without looking at the discripition... I enjoyed going to the airport after have a stressful time with exams and the school year.

The art work shown is done by 1) Joel Griffith, Oil on Panel, "The corner of Washburn Avenue", 2-4) Ken Ragsdale, Mixed Media, "Its in the book, Site Specific Installation", and 5-7) Stevan Jennis, Paint by Numbe Collage, "Plymouth", "Eagle", and "Boy Fishing".
