This month marks the beginning of the fourth year since the pandemic drove the art community upstate, and, as readers can see from our selected guide, the gallery scene continues to expand and thrive. Seasonal spaces such as the Re Institute are reopening and the hardy year-rounders are gearing up for their busiest season yet. As always, huge thanks to Sophy Johnston for compiling the guide, which is loosely organized by neighborhood. NOTE: If you have a show that you would like to be considered for inclusion to the next selected guide, please send a note to upstateartguide.twocoatsofpaint@gmail.com.
