New York State Museum
Sponsored by Fenimore Asset Management

Kick off the Albany Chefs’ Food and Wine Festival on Thursday with an elegant evening at the Mayor’s Reception, hosted inside the historic New York State Museum. Enjoy passed hors d’oeuvres from Nicole’s Catering paired with thoughtfully selected wines, cider, and champagne as we come together to support a weekend of culinary excellence and artistic inspiration.

This reception is the perfect opportunity to meet and mingle with our arts beneficiaries, festival partners, business leaders, and the Capital Region’s Rising Star and Signature Chefs. Be there for the exciting announcement of the ChangeMaker Awards, honoring nearly two decades of trailblazers in the arts, community leadership, and culinary innovation.

We are proud to have Fenimore Asset Management sponsoring the Mayor’s Reception. Their generous support helps make this event possible and strengthens the connection between Albany’s business and arts communities.
