Artists in Placid, Inspired by the Greats!

North Country Artists living in New York State don’t like to outright copy the Masters, but organizers of an exhibit at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts encouraged them to pay tribute to their artistic heroes.

Mountain Lake PBS produced this story just before the COVID-19 situation forced many people to stay at home, as well galleries to shut their doors to the public.

Collaborating with the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, Mountain Lake PBS created its first Spotlight online art gallery. It allows people to still get a close look at all the works, but without setting foot outside their homes. Enjoy the online gallery here.

Paul Larson produced, wrote and edited this Spotlight piece. It features videography by Will Houle, with production assistance from Madison Spear.  

Spotlight is made possible, in part, by the Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation, dedicated to improving the quality of life for year-round residents of the Adirondack Park. Spotlight is also supported by Hill & Hollow Music.
