Arts

Tucked between the lake and the scenic Adirondack Mountains, the Lake Champlain Region and its breathtaking natural scenery have inspired artists and writers for generations. The historic towns are home to galleries, studios, museums and a variety of organizations that are dedicated to continuing and preserving the region's rich artistic and cultural legacy.

The region features a professional community theater and several venues for the performing arts. Visitors can listen to a blues band in a lakeside park one evening and watch a Shakespearean performance the next. The region is home to the famed Meadowmount School of Music, where legendary musicians like Itzhak Perlman trained. Summer offers a smorgasbord of celebrations and festivals focusing on maritime, mining and Adirondack themes, such as the locally famous Field, Forest and Stream event each September.
