Bringing People & Words Together

The mission of the Adirondack Center for Writing (ACW) is to inspire the love of writing, reading, and storytelling. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in the 6-million-acre Adirondack Park in New York State.

Our Goals:

1. Build and maintain a community of writers, readers, and listeners across disciplines, traditions, ages, and geographies.
2. Honor the rich literary, cultural, and natural history of the Adirondacks.
3. Partner with diverse individuals, organizations, and schools to promote the craft of writing and the practice of reading in our communities.

Learn more about our team, teaching artists, upcoming events, and how to donate and support ACW’s important work. Questions? We’d love to chat!
