Visitors looking for the best things to do in North Creek beyond the ski slopes will find a compelling cultural stop at Tannery Pond Center.

Now on view through Saturday, February 14, 2026, North Country Landscapes brings a thoughtful and immersive art exhibition to the Widlund Gallery, offering a quieter but equally memorable Adirondack experience.

Perfectly timed for winter visitors to Gore Mountain, this exhibit appeals especially to friends and family members who prefer exploring art, culture, and small-town charm, while others hit the trails. It also adds depth to a weekend getaway in North Creek, one of the Adirondacks’ most welcoming mountain communities.

Stepping into the North Country through paint.

North Country Landscapes features the work of Diane DeAngelis, an artist whose oil paintings focus on landscapes and still lifes with a strong sense of place. Her stated goal is simple yet powerful: to make viewers feel as though they could step directly into each painting and take a leisurely stroll through the scene.

That intention resonates throughout the exhibit. DeAngelis’ landscapes invite viewers to slow down, linger, and imagine themselves within the quiet rhythms of the North Country. Brushwork, light, and composition work together to create paintings that feel both intimate and expansive—mirroring the Adirondack experience itself.

Adirondack inspiration, shaped over time.

DeAngelis began painting in the late 1990s in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, studying with several accomplished artists and developing a strong foundation in traditional oil painting techniques. Over time, her work increasingly gravitated toward landscapes, a shift that aligns naturally with her more recent summers spent in the Adirondacks.

Many of the pieces in North Country Landscapes draw directly from Adirondack settings, capturing wooded paths, open skies, and water views that will feel instantly familiar to regional visitors. Several works reflect time spent along Lake Champlain, where DeAngelis has vacationed over the past two summers. The lake’s expansive horizons and dramatic sunsets appear as recurring motifs, rendered with warmth and restraint rather than spectacle.

An easy cultural add-on to a Gore getaway.

For visitors planning a winter weekend in North Creek, North Country Landscapes offers an ideal off-mountain activity. The exhibit provides a calm, indoor counterpoint to cold-weather adventures and gives non-skiers a meaningful reason to explore the village.
