Levels correspond to what will be included in your GCP. Each General Admission ticket sold to the MasquerAid for Art Gala will be entered into a separate raffle specifically to win a special, private dinner at ACG. More details in regard to this dinner coming soon. 

Each ticket purchase enters you to win a special prize!

Congratulations to our 2020 Award Winners:

ACG is proud to bestow Jessica Hansen with the 2020 Les Urbach Lifetime Achievement Award.

For the first time in its nine-year history, this year's Mona Ruth Brickman Memorial Artist of the Year award will honor two recipients: Duane Ivan Todman and Yeachin Tsai.

Tune into the Gala to learn more about the recipients.

For decades, we have been hosting an annual fundraising art party that attendees are not quick to forget. This will not be your typical virtual gathering. We will have our awards ceremony (presenting the Mona Ruth Brickman Memorial Artist of the Year Award and the Les Urbach Lifetime Achievement Award), an online silent auction filled with art and other sought after items, a virtual dance party, and oh so much more! This year we get the best of both worlds, the party as well as being able to enjoy it from the comfort of home. 

By participating, you will be taking an active role in keeping visual art alive in Albany, while contributing firsthand to our region’s rich culture, economic livelihood, and history.
