Event Details

A Free Community Event featuring Fine Art, Performances and Other Surprises

It's not everyday that you can experience fine art, film, music and a bit of theatre all in one place, but The Linda makes it all possible at its first ever Pop-Up Gallery Night. This free, one-of-a-kind arts celebration features an assortment of New York-based and regionally-acclaimed artists, and serves up a smorgasbord of visual art, music and eclectic imagery styles that will stimulate the imagination and fuel your inner critic.

Please join us and witness the transformation of The Linda from intimate auditorium space to fine art gallery. Guests will be treated to an evening of two and three dimensional fine art, original films, non-traditional performances and other unexpected expressions of creativity.

Created to connect the arts to the greater community, Pop-Up Gallery Night is a special event curated by Albany native and fine art photographer Jason Spiro. A DJ, spinning classics from all genres, will provide the backdrop for the evening; complimentary refreshments will be served and a cash bar will be available.

Featured Artists

Ali Herrmann
Ms. Herrmann works primarily in painting, creating original, one of a
kind acrylics, oils, watercolors and encaustics. Her work is heavily
influenced by the growth and decay cycles of nature, and her renderings reflect a combination of both representation and abstraction. As a result, repetitious forms and patterns start to emerge, creating unique, playful landscapes.
