The 2016 Central Adirondack Art Show

The Central Adirondack Art show is a long-standing Old Forge tradition, showcasing some of the finest artists from throughout the Central Adirondack Region and beyond. Held for the first time in 1952, by View founder Miriam Kashiwa in her front yard, the Central Adirondack Art Show is a testament to the significant place the arts hold within the hearts and minds of the residents and visitors to the Adirondacks. The exhibition is open to all artists, age 16 and up working in any media (except sound, video and film).

Join us on Saturday May 7th from 5-7pm for an opening reception celebrating the Central Adirondack Art Show, and solo exhibitions by Bob Erickson, James Bellucci, Nancy Mills, and Tracy Genovese.
