The Adirondack Center for Writing brings people and words together.
ACW has been refined by 20 years of service to the writers, readers, storytellers, and listeners of the Adirondack region.

Through events and programs, ACW has been given access to the fears, flaws, beliefs, and dreams of the people who live here. Residents trust ACW enough to attend provocative programs, and they are trusted in turn to engage with tough topics openly and honestly.

Looking forward, ACW is focused and inspired by the ever-changing needs of the community. Because when people and words come together, incredible things happen.

ACW has a legacy that’s just beginning.
