    Small gallery on Russell Sage campus doing some amazing work with screen printing…read more We left our donation& a valuable new experience:)!

    I can't believe that there aren't any other reviews of this cool little gallery on Yelp yet! With…read moremost other arts and culture in the area on hold right now, we were craving something interesting to do, and decided to brave the snow to check out a brand new exhibition at the Opalka Gallery. First, I want to get this out of the way: the space is teeny-tiny, so you're not going to make a day of it. You might not even make a half-hour of it. For someone who really loves wandering around galleries and museums it feels a little like being served exactly five potato chips. However, the art on display is legitimately really interesting and worth seeing. Right now the exhibition includes prints, sculptures, and a motorized sound installation that was really cool to look at, even though we didn't get to see it in action (the artist wasn't there when we were). I'm really looking forward to coming back here post-covid to attend some of the musical performances and other events that the Opalka gallery runs -- in the summer of 2019 they were hosting an outdoor beer garden with art and music that I really regret never having checked out when I had the chance! Post script: COVID procedures are scrupulously followed here, so be prepared to fill out a contact-tracing form and have your temperature taken before you can check out the art.

    A friend and I traveled to Canajoharie specifically to visit the Arkell Museum. The first seven…read moreyears of my life were spent one town over and I remember my Mother had worked at Beechnut before I was born. The Arkell family was very good to their employees and built the library and a studio that became the Arkell Museum for the residents of Canajoharie. Its permanent collection includes 7 Winslow Homer paintings in addition to other American artists' works. The gallery of art representing the local communities is interesting and informative. I especially liked the map of the region painted on the floor of this gallery. There are three special exhibits:To be seen representations of women in The Arkell Museum Collection, Kevin Kuhne's Bygone Framework--watercolors of buildings and places in Albany that no longer remain as they once were and Happy Little Beech-nuts, advertising artwork of children enjoying Beech-nut foods. We spent approximately 3 hours at the museum and library as we enjoyed learning about the Arkell family and the garden that was created in memory for Mr. Arkell's second wife. In my opinion, The Arkell Museum and library is their legacy, to a community and its people they genuinely cared about. It is well worth visiting.

    Despite being a small town upstater, I've been to some incredible museums this year from the…read moreGuggenheim to MOMA to the Met to the "more intimate" Seattle and Portland art museums. Still, I liked this little museum a great deal. Let me put it this way. What's more boring than a drive along the New York State Thruway? How about a fun, educational break from the cross-state driving? Just 3 or 4 blocks from the Canajoharie toll booth and you're at the museum. Stretch your legs, see a lovely little collection of interesting art, and barely interrupt your drive. I was most impressed by the beautiful bronze in the garden and the American Art Collection. I could care less about the high quality reproduction of the Night Watch; I've seen the real thing and I've even seen it done in tiles in the Delft factory - oddly interesting. My only regret - I missed the recent Homer and Wyeth shows. The current specials (infrared shots of American ruins and a room of paintings arranged by seasons) didn't ring my bell although my wife was agog over some of the winter scenes. If you have time, head south just a block or two to the Church & Main Restaurant. Or, along the way there is an old fashioned small town cafe/diner. Regardless, take a tiny detour, get out of the car, and have fun!
