Upstate NY CMT held its second Starry Night Art de Cure gallery reception to benefit the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association (CMTA) on December 7, 2012 hosted by David and Elizabeth Misener at our CMT art gallery located at Clinical Prosthetics + Orthotics in Albany, NY.

Guests enjoyed complimentary wine, cheese, appetizers, and deserts, while browsing original art by regional artists, including: acrylics, framed photography, watercolors, mixed media and oil paintings. We also held a silent action of quilts, hand crafted jewelry, silk scarves, gift cards, wine baskets, baby blankets, books, an autographed Giants football poster, photo note cards & more!
