Inventive Art Exhibit in the Central Adirondacks

The Town of Long Lake introduces a unique way to pair the natural magnificence of the Adirondack Park with manmade beauty.

Art in Nature exhibit in Long Lake.

Beginning in 2023, the Town of Long Lake introduced an imaginative exhibit that showcases local artwork in nature, offering a new way to appreciate the region's beauty.

Long Lake’s Parks and Recreation Department sponsors the outdoor exhibition called "Art in Nature.” This display highlights the artwork of eleven talented Long Lake artists, displayed outdoors, making it a distinctive and surprising way to experience art in natural settings.

Connecting art to nature in Long Lake.

The Town extended an invitation to local artists to paint any subject of their choice. Their original works are now on display alfresco at different locations throughout Long Lake, providing an opportunity for residents and visitors to enjoy them while engaging in various recreational activities such as paddling, sightseeing, hiking, walking, and biking.

Long Lake, a jewel in the Central Adirondacks.

The immediate accessibility to the great outdoors sets Adirondack communities apart, and by moving art into nature, the exhibition offers a surprising perspective and connects man-made art to natural features in the environment.
