THE LAKE PLACID INSTITUTE for the Arts and Humanities' mission is to enhance the cultural life of the Adirondack region.

We do so by shaping an environment that fosters creativity;  by bringing the talents of world class artists, leaders and thinkers to the community; by developing and sustaining high-quality, innovative programs; by forming partnerships with other local and regional organizations; and by celebrating the cultural heritage of the Adirondacks.
