North Creek Arts District debuts with big Celebrate the Arts festival

NORTH CREEK | More than 30 artists, art shops and organizations in North Creek and surrounding communities will star in an all-day arts festival on Saturday, Aug. 8, as the town's new arts district makes its debut up and down Main Street. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., stalls, shops and open-air displays highlighting glassblowing, pottery, painting, wood carvings, mosaics, jewelry, and so much more will line North Creek's Main Street down to Riverfront Park. For the younger set, face painting and Kids Art workshops will be offered, plus a short comedy performance of "Bad Things Happen to Good Actors." Thirteen bands and solo musical performers will add to the festivities at Riverfront Park, porches at the Hudson River Trading Company and Revolution Rail, all along Main Street and at the Tannery Pond Center's side yard. A full list of artists, music groups and other festival participants can be found at northcreekartsdistrict.org. The North Creek Arts District was created this year to highlight and support the local artists and arts attractions sometimes overlooked in a community largely known for its outdoor recreation. "We are a thriving arts community as well as a recreation town, and we want people to recognize that," said Miriam Deutch, board president at Tannery Pond Center, which features gallery shows, performances and arts workshops, and is another festival exhibitor. The idea for the arts district was first recommended in the Town of Johnsburg's 2025 Comprehensive Plan, and was readily embraced by town leaders and artists. A concentration of art offerings has been a proven stimulant to local Adirondack economies. For more information, please visit North Creek Arts District.
