“The Visitors,” an oil painting by Tina Lincer, associate director of Communications and Marketing, was selected for inclusion in an exhibition at the Clement Art Gallery in Troy, N.Y. With a range of works by more than 30 artists from the U.S., Canada, England and Germany, “The Witching Hour” addresses themes of magic and the macabre. The opening reception is Friday, Oct. 29, 6-8 p.m. during Troy Night Out. The show runs through Nov. 21.
