Adirondack A&E e-News # 444
ADK A&E subscribers, we’re asking for your support…
If you haven’t yet made a donation for ADK A&E, would you consider doing so now?
While the ADK A&E e-News is free to receive and the website’s Event calendar also costs nothing to upload to or to view, both cost significant time and money to produce.
Your donation helps us to defray our costs and to give us a modicum of compensation for the many hours of work we put into producing the ADK A&E e-News and maintaining the website, including the Event calendar, the Directory and the archived issues of the e-News.
You can make a secure online donation clicking HERE.
Or, if you prefer, you can send a check to ADK A&E, PO Box 422, Jay, NY 12941.
If your budget is tight these days, perhaps you might consider making a monthly donation of a modest amount; that’s an easy option to set up when donating online and spreads your donation out over any term you wish.
Whatever amount you can give, we appreciate your support—thank you!
All the best,
Beth and Tim

The Adirondack Center for Writing Presents
We’ve opened a second section of our popular 8-week Legacy Writing Workshop!
Tuesdays, October 15 – December 3, 10 – 11:30 am
Join ACW for an 8-week creative writing workshop for adults ages 55+, led by experienced educator and author, Marilyn McCabe.
Legacy writing encompasses what we wish for our loved ones to know about us and how we have navigated our lives. Legacy writing preserves our values, stories, opinions, history, and experiences through a creative lens. Students in this workshop will be introduced to engaging prompts, inspiring texts, and a warm, supportive community dedicated to getting words on the page. No prior experience with creative writing is necessary.
There is a sliding-scale fee to register ($80 – $200). This workshop provides 12 hours of in class instructor time, assignments to take your writing further, and a chance to publish your work in a class anthology. This fee will enable us to fairly pay our instructors and offer new workshops in the future.

Fall Open Juried Art Show
Thru Saturday, November 2
For over 25 years, the LPCA has presented a fall juried art exhibition to celebrate the extraordinary talent of artists in our region and beyond.
This longstanding tradition brings to life not only the astounding beauty of the Adirondack landscape, but also a broad range of viewpoints in all mediums that explore subjects beyond the familiar wildlife, mountains and lakes. Always free to the public, this annual exhibit features work from 50-100 artists and distributes $5,000 in cash prizes to the creators of the top three works, as selected by each year’s jurors. From paintings and pottery to photography and fiber arts, we are proud to highlight and support local art.
See the full list of accepted works HERE.
