Art in the Adirondacks
It's no surprise that the Adirondacks have such a thriving arts community; the region's vast forests, peaceful waterways, and scenic mountains have long served as a muse for the creative, including authors and painters. Lake Placid's striking landscape offers an inspirational backdrop more beautiful and more vivid than one can imagine, and it changes with each new season.
Today, artists of all kinds are inspired by the natural setting and solitude of the mountains. Lake Placid boasts several venues for the arts and hosts a variety of performances — from classical music to family-friendly shows, comedy acts to community plays and musicals. Whatever your preference, there are many events and enriching family activities available throughout the year.
