READ 📈 NEA Report

National Endowment for the Arts surveyed arts organizations throughout the country about creative responses to programming during the pandemic. ACW was one of those nine selected arts organizations, chosen for their innovative responses to programming during COVID.

ACW BELIEVES

Every voice deserves to be heard and heralded, especially those voices that have faced prejudice, violence, and economic disparity now and throughout history. ACW will continue the work of highlighting powerful voices throughout the Adirondack region today and every day to ensure all of us are better neighbors, allies, and humans.

Here are some of the stories we’ve had the honor of bringing to to local audiences. ACW invites you to take the time to listen and watch. ⬇

MESSAGE OF SUPPORT

“I wanted to thank you for sending writing prompts during quarantine.  A while back you sent out a call for haiku, and in the middle of the night I went into the studio and wrote. I am making some into paintings. Thank you for connecting and inspiring. What you do for the North Country is important and appreciated.”

– Maria D., community member
