Adirondack Center for Writing moves to Saranac Lake

As of Monday, Sept. 3, the Adirondack Center for Writing (ACW) is now calling downtown Saranac Lake home after being at Paul Smith's College for 13 years. Located on Main Street, right above the Adirondack Artists Guild, ACW Executive Director Nathalie Thill said she is excited to share the building with several artists, surrounded by studios, and to be located right in the center of a community like Saranac Lake, which has embraced the arts so completely. "Although we look forward to an exciting new future, we feel a deep sense of gratitude toward Paul Smith's College, which has generously housed us for the past 13 years," Thill said. "We would not be the thriving literary organization we are today if it hadn't been for the support and kindness of the College of the Adirondacks." But this isn't goodbye for good, she added. The ACW still plans to work with the college to bring a major author every year. This year, for example, Russell Banks will be reading at the Paul Smith's College VIC on Sept. 13 at 7:30 p.m. "We also plan to continue to work with PSC staff to bring in performance poets every year, a program that draws over 300 people ever year," Thill said. "This year, plan on hearing some incredible poetry on Nov. 15." For details on these and all the ACW programs, visit online at adirondackcenterforwriting.org. A central element of the Adirondack Center for Writing's mission is to present programs throughout the Adirondacks. The new location in Saranac Lake will not change that. "It is very important to us as an organization to reach audiences living all over the region," Thill said. "Our programs take place everywhere from Saratoga Springs and Plattsburgh to Ticonderoga and Old Forge. We take great pains to reach every corner, and to forge partnerships with different organizations, libraries and institutions as we offer the best programs for readers and writers in the Adirondacks." People are encouraged to stop by the new office, right above the Adirondack Artists Guild. The doorway is located in the parking lot bordering Nori's Village Market. The Adirondack Center for Writing is an independent non-profit, 501(c)3 organization dedicated to promoting literature and providing educational opportunities and support to both aspiring and established writers in the Adirondack region. We provide workshops, conferences, and readings throughout the year in locations all around the Adirondack Park. The Adirondack Center for Writing is supported by a strong membership and public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.
