Arlene's Member Show
December 12, 2025 – January 10, 2026
Arlene's Artist Materials and the R Gallery at Arlene’s are thrilled to announce the return of our third annual Arlene’s Member Show. This group exhibition features work of local artists and creatives who are currently participating in the Arlene’s Membership Program. Since its launch in January 2023, the program has become a cornerstone of our mission to connect, support, and celebrate the diverse talents within our creative community.
This year’s Member Show brings together a wide range of mediums, styles, and even skill levels- highlighting everyone from emerging students to seasoned professionals. It’s a dynamic showcase of the Capital Region’s artistic spirit, offering visitors the chance to discover original works and support local makers.
As a way to further honor of Members, three artists will be selected by our gallery staff to participate in the Member Select group exhibition in April 2026, offering an exciting opportunity for further recognition and exposure. Let’s unite in supporting our members and continue growing our creative community together.

The exhibition opens with an Artist Reception on Friday, December 12, 2025, from 4:30–5:30 PM, and will run through Saturday, January 10, 2026. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 6 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. We will be closed on Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, and New Year's Day, January 1, 2026.
