Arts Programs

The arts thrive in the nesting home of the Adirondacks.  Our area has been inspiration and a haven for great artists.  Arts in the Adirondacks is a year-round experience.  From galleries, crafts, photography, painting, quilting and theater. Long Lake and Raquette Lake support the artistic

community all year sponsoring theater productions, concerts, art and photo shows featuring local artists.  The Long Lake Arts guild meets on Thursdays in the summer and the popular Bob Ross paint class offers opportunities for everyone to express themselves creatively.

By incorporating group, story, scene work, and movement-based exercises, we’ll explore the primary fundamentals of improvisation using time-tested exercises and games. We’ll utilize and implement the number-one rule in improv by saying, “Yes … and.” Together, we’ll create specific characters and relationships in rich environments. You’ll learn to commit to your decisions, listen to your scene partner and make yourself look great by making others look great. Not only will this workshop make you a better improviser, but a more spontaneous person. 0% Fear. 100% Fun.
