2025 EVENTS:
GALLERY CELEBRATION
July 11, 5-7 PM
Please join us for the Exhibition Celebration of THE ELEMENTS: IMAGES OF HOPE.
Keegan’s Climate Change Series is based on the four elements - earth, air, fire, and water. It is the idea of the natural harmony among these elements that led to the creation of this exhibition, addressing climate crisis and the disharmony we are experiencing today. The works in this exhibition are intended to be signifiers of the fragility of our planet and that we can and must come together to address pressing issues.
Dan Keegan will be in attendance to talk about his work. Refreshments will be served. Free and open to the public!

PEOPLE & PEAKS: ANNUAL ADIRONDACK STORIES
September 20, 10 AM-3 PM
This year's People & Peaks theme is THE FIRST ADK46 CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
2025 marks the 100th anniversary of Herb Clark, Bob Marshall, and George Marshall becoming the first individuals to climb all 46 Adirondack High Peaks over 4,000 feet. They were the first 46ers. Their spirit of adventure and encouragement has led many fellow hikers to follow in their footsteps. What began as a trickle in the 1930s through the 1960s has become a steady stream of hikers, where close to 20,000 climbers have become a coveted 46er.
Admission free
