VENUE INFORMATION

The events of the 2008 Albany Word Fest will be taking place at the UAG Gallery and Tess' Lark Tavern.

UAG GALLERY
"Our gallery contains roughly 1,000 square feet of wall space and 800 square feet of floor space for shows, workshops, and special events. The unique space provides a comfortable space for work of all sizes and mediums. Additionally, the gallery's front window space frequently features an art installation.

Other than our events and workshops the UAG Gallery also acts as a central repository for information on the Guild and local events. Stop by to pick up membership applications, call for art forms, fliers, and other literature or ask a Guild member what we're all about. We also keep copies of our newsletter and the calendar of events at the Gallery for your perusal. "

TESS' LARK TAVERN
"Lark Tavern's slogan has long been "Where Good Friends Meet" and for good reason. Friends and business associates appreciate its central location, easy going atmosphere, and the famously friendly staff.

More recently, Lark has become known for good friends, good food, and good music. With recent transition in ownership to Tess, officially making it Tess' Lark Tavern, we have seen an influx of new bands, great specials, and amazing additions to the menu as well as an eclectic mix of interesting people from the business, art, technology, science, and academic communities. It seems there is something for everyone at Tess' Lark Tavern. "
