Arts Center Lake Placid

Nestled in Northern New York State’s beautiful Adirondack Park, Arts Center Lake Placid (formerly Lake Placid Center for the Arts) offers exceptional music, dance, theater, film, and visual arts performances, as well as arts-in-education programs, workshops, and residencies for aspiring and renowned artists. For more than 50 years, the Center has featured exceptional year-round artistic programming across its campus.

In 2022, the Center began an effort to re-envision its campus to further its mission for its next 50 years (and more). Following extensive visioning and early capital planning, we joined the team to structure these conversations into a project vision and capital project plan that the Center could use in seminal project fundraising. In 2023, the Center was announced as a NYSCA Large Capital Improvement Grant award recipient, receiving a $7.5M grant that is one of the largest grants ever awarded to a cultural institution by the state of New York. This fueled continued advancement of the project, which broke ground in September 2025.
