Jeff Wilkin from the Daily Gazette stopped by the Mandeville Gallery for a feature on a new exhibit, “One Second, Everything Changes.” The exhibit focuses on the children and young adults impacted by alcohol-related and impaired-driving crashes in the Capital Region. It is presented by the Lewis Henry Morgan Institute and sponsored by the Mandeville Gallery and Schenectady County STOP-DWI program. Curated by Denis Foley, a DWI program leader and public anthropologist, it runs through the end of the month.
