[June 11, 2021 – Albany, GA] ─ Visitors to the Albany Museum of Art will be able to see the creative process in action this summer. Artist Michael Mallard, who has become the AMA’s first artist-in-residence, is utilizing the Hodges Gallery as his studio for the next several months.

“We are delighted that Michael Mallard is kicking off this program for us,” AMA Executive Director Andrew J. Wulf, Ph.D., said. “As a South Georgia native, he is an asset to the museum and to this community.”

“It’s something I’ve never done before,” Mallard said. “I’m thankful for the opportunity.”
