Join us when poets whose work has been selected are invited to recite their poetry!
Each year, over 400 entries are received from students in Grades 1-12 in public, private, and home schools within and around the Adirondack Park. Poems selected for their special merit are published in the annual booklet, Words from the Woods.
This program was initiated in 1998 by the Lake Placid Institute for the Arts and Humanities. It originated from the recognition that poetry is not only a fundamental literary art but also an accessible form of writing for students of all ages. Lake Placid Center for the Arts is thrilled to assist LPI with the administration of this program.
High School Juried Art Show and 24 Hours: A Photographic Interpretation of Life in the Adirondacks are in the Gallery @ LPCA Thursday through Saturday, 1-5 pm, April 11 through May 17, 2025.
