The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) Decentralization (DEC) grant program has been rebranded as the "Statewide Community Regrants (SCR)" program. The Arts Center continues to serve Hamilton, Franklin, Clinton and Essex counties as the Adirondack (ADK) Quad-County region's SCR site and encourages all arts organizations, artist collectives and individual artists to look into applying for the next round of SCR Community Arts and Arts Education grants, which is the 2023 cycle.

Our return to the MAGIC of live, in-person music, theatre, visual-arts exhibits, and other programming continues in 2022 with "Back in Blue, Act II: The Magic Returns!" 55 years ago, in 1967, a little group called the Beatles came out with "The Magical Mystery Tour," a musical tour de force that helped define a generation. That same year, Jim and Sheila Hutt first directed the Arts Center in Blue Mountain Lake, NY, a magical place that has continued to help define what the arts mean to our Adirondack communities. Join us in 2022 as we return to live activities with a "magical" lineup of classical, folk, rock, alternative, and Broadway music through our Weekend Series. The magic continues with our three Adirondack Lakes Summer Theatre Festival productions: 2 Across, directed by Jordan Hornstein; A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Karen Lordi-Kirkham; and Beguiled Again, a revue featuring the "bewitching" music of Rodgers & Hart. Our gallery exhibits will also return, along with workshops and lectures. And our year will end with that always magical song & skit show by your neighbors, "Forever Wild." Season announcement soon - like magic!
