About Us
Founded in 1967, the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts (ALCA) is a cultural hub for arts and education based in Blue Mountain Lake, New York. We are a welcoming gathering place where residents, visitors and artists come together to create, learn and celebrate the arts in a uniquely Adirondack setting - a historic lakeside lodge, revitalized as a vibrant arts center. Through local and regional programs, ALCA inspires creativity, supports artists, and builds community throughout the Adirondacks.
Arts Center programs serve people of all ages and abilities and provide shared experiences that build strong communities.
ALCA students have developed lifelong passions and even careers based on interests sparked in our workshops and classes.
Generations of families have built – and continue to build - lasting memories at ALCA.
By taking art “out of the building,” ALCA reaches people throughout the central Adirondacks including Indian Lake, Long Lake, Newcomb, Inlet, Old Forge, North Creek, Tupper Lake and beyond.
Artists and arts organizations across our four-county region are empowered through grants issued by ALCA, a New York State Council for the arts re-grant site.
