A Quarter Century of Inspiration:
Perrella Art Gallery Celebrates 25 Years
Twenty-five years ago, a vision took shape. A vision of a space where art could thrive, inspiring students, faculty, and the broader community. This vision became a reality thanks to the foresight and generosity of the FM Foundation and donors Frank and Sharon Marie Perrella.
The Perrella Art Gallery, a cornerstone of Fulton-Montgomery Community College (FMCC), has since become a vibrant hub for artistic expression, education, and cultural enrichment.
From its inception, the gallery has been a catalyst for artistic dialogue. Countless exhibitions have graced its walls, showcasing the works of both renowned and emerging artists.
The gallery has hosted everything from thought-provoking contemporary installations to timeless masterpieces, challenging perceptions and expanding horizons.
Local talents have flourished alongside internationally acclaimed names, creating a rich tapestry of artistic expression.
Imagine the thrill of witnessing a groundbreaking exhibit by a rising star…
…or the awe-inspiring experience of standing before a classic piece that has captivated audiences for generations.
The Perrella Gallery has made these moments accessible to everyone, fostering a deep appreciation for the arts within the community.
The impact of the FM Foundation’s support along with the Perrella family, cannot be overstated.
By investing in the Perrella Art Gallery, the foundation has cultivated a space where creativity ignites, where minds are expanded, and where the human spirit is uplifted.
The gallery has become a living testament to the power of philanthropy to transform lives and enrich communities.
The 25th Anniversary of the Perrella Gallery will be celebrated at a reception, Friday September 20th at 6pm.
The 25th Anniversary Show opens Wednesday, August 28th featuring artists that have had solo shows over the last 25 years! The show will run to Monday, November 4th.
The following show will be November 18th featuring artist, Bill Wiatr. He may be reviewed at http://theadirondackartist.com/aboutus.htm. It is an amazing site and highlights many of his pieces.
