LARAC’s Lapham Gallery hosts seven exhibitions a year featuring local, regional, and national artistic talent working in a variety of different mediums and artistic genres. Our exhibitions are scheduled from January to October, with each exhibition on view for 4 weeks. Five out of our seven exhibitions feature selected artists. Every year, we host one themed Juried exhibition, as well as one Members only exhibition. Every other year we also host an Intercollegiate Art Competition which contains work from students within a 120 mile radius of LARAC. In November and December, we host our annual holiday shop which contains handcrafted gifts from regional artists.

We are located on the first floor of our renovated carriage house in historic Downtown Glens Falls. The building is directly next to beautiful Downtown City Park, the center of activity in the City. Lapham Gallery is almost 1900 square feet of stunning gallery space with just the right amount of architectural detail, painted white. First-time visitors to Lapham Gallery are always in awe of its elegance and versatility.

Toni Nastasi is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores themes of loss and memory, perception and awareness, fleeting moments and permanence. For this exhibit, she will display a collection of large richly layered oil paintings while representational, are also surreal and dreamlike. Toni Nastasi grew up within the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains and received her BFA in painting from the State University of New York at New Paltz in 2017. In addition to being a working and exhibiting artist, Toni works within her local creative community as an art educator at The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, NY.

Ava Tesoriero is a ceramic artist whose award-winning work has been exhibited all over the country, demonstrating a mastery of medium and experience that defies her young age. Her highly finessed ceramic works are not simply vessels but fully imagined conceptual forms that blend form and function, transforming the vessel from a static sculpture into an experience for viewers. The artist received a BS in Studio Art, with a concentration in Ceramics from Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY just this past year. In addition to her own professional work as a ceramic artist, she is an instructor and gallery assistant at Saratoga Clay Arts Center in Schuylerville, NY.
