New York State Museum

Kick off the Annual Albany Chefs’ Food & Wine Festival Thursday with an elegant evening at our Mayor’s Reception hosted at our exclusive new location, the New York State Museum! Celebrate in style with passed hors d’oeuvres from Nicole’s Catering, paired with delicious wines, cider & champagne, as we come together to support a fabulous weekend of culinary excellence & art. 

This event offers an opportunity to meet & mingle with our arts beneficiaries and festival supporters. Network with business leaders, Rising Star and Signature Chefs from the Capital Region’s vibrant arts and culinary communities. And you won’t want to miss the announcement of the Ms. Hattie’s ChangeMaker awards, honoring the legacy of City arts, community & culinary trailblazers.
