SUMMARY:John Collins Memorial Lecture: Wintering: The Nature of Resilience in Landscape
DESCRIPTION:The paintings in this body of work\, “Wintering\,” examine the metaphorical connection between nature\, my personal wintering\, and my experiences of the sublime. Through the materiality and language of paint\, light\, and subject matter\, grief is reconciled; hope and resilience prevail. Historical comparisons and research of artists who have painted Northern winter landscapes deepen my connection with my genre and role as an Adirondack landscape painter. The intention of this body of work is for the audience to find a personal connection to their own wintering through the lens of nature and with that connection\, find hope and resiliency of their own. \nThis program is free. \nAbout The Speaker: \nIngrid Van Slyke (b. 1967\, Washington D.C) received her M.F.A in painting from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2023. She has exhibited her work in international and national group exhibitions throughout the country including New York\, Connecticut\, Maine\, Massachusetts\, and Illinois as well as solo shows. Her work has been juried into the highly prestigious Pastel Society of America “Enduring Brilliance” exhibitions held at the National Arts Club and the Salmagundi Club in New York City. She has been a guest speaker for the National Association of Women Artists “Arts in Conversation” series. Ingrid teaches soft pastel painting to individuals and groups and has been a guest teacher at the New York State Art Teacher’s Summer Institute at The Great Camp Sagamore in Upstate NY. Her work is currently represented at Gallery 46 in Lake Placid\, NY. Ingrid lives with her family in Lake Placid\, NY\, and finds inspiration for her landscape paintings from the beautiful natural environment of the Adirondacks. \n** Before the program\, at 5:00 PM\, join us for our annual reception in memory of John “Johnny” Collins Jr.\, former Trustee and Executive Director of the museum.** \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Outsider: Stories of Growing Up Black in the Adirondacks by Alice Paden Green
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program. \n“Outsider: Stories of Growing Up Black in the Adirondacks” details Alice Paden Green’s experiences as her family grappled with poverty\, race and acceptance in the mid-20th century. This memoir\, prompted by a recent gathering of Blacks and whites in the Adirondacks for a discussion on race relations\, explores perceptions of Black families in the ’50s and ’60s and whether Blacks are still viewed as outsiders or welcomed with open arms in this four-season\, recreational playground dominated by white residents. \nThis book adds to the narrative on whether more work should be done to diversify the Adirondack region. \nAbout The Speaker:\n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:NCPR Beat Authority Live from the ADKX
DESCRIPTION:Kick off the weekend and the season with the North Country Public Radio Beat Authority live at the ADKX! \nJoin us on Friday\, May 31st\, from 3-5pm for a live broadcast of the North Country Public Radio Beat Authority from the ADKX campus! ???? Hosted by David Sommerstein\, get ready for a fresh mix of dance music from all corners of the world! Kick off the weekend and the season here at ADKX! \nDavid Sommerstein\, NCPR’s roving St. Lawrence Valley/Fort Drum/Tug Hill reporter\, began his career in radio\, strangely enough\, as a high school Spanish teacher in Buffalo. While drilling verb conjugations and teaching a love for Latino culture during the day\, he sat in as a late night jazz and Latin DJ at Buffalo’s NPR affiliate\, WBFO. The radio bug bit\, and David found his way to southern Colorado/northern New Mexico (the Taos/Santa Fe area) where he was Program Director\, Music Director\, Volunteer Coordinator\, and “Just About Anything Else You Can Think Of” Director at NPR affiliate KRZA. \nSince joining NCPR’s news department\, David has reported from the chilly deck of a St. Lawrence icebreaker\, the power-chord filled stage of the High School Rock Band Festival\, and the tense Albanian street market of post-war Kosovo with soldiers from Fort Drum. David also gets to fulfill his passion for music of all kinds when he spins world dance and groove music on editions of The Beat Authority.

SUMMARY:Aviation in the Adirondacks By Aurora Pfaff
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program. \nSince 1912\, when a young man named George Gray landed an open-cockpit biplane on a farmer’s field\, aviation has played an important role in communities located throughout the 6 million-acre Adirondack Park. Through a range of historic images and postcards\, Aurora Pfaff tells the story of pilots who linked communities by air\, transported goods and people\, and the small towns and airfields that they called home. From the novelty of planes landing on skis and daredevil flying circuses to forest fire patrols\, exploration of the vast backcountry\, and toy deliveries by Santa\, airplanes have opened the Adirondack wilderness and made remote communities more easily accessible for tourists and adventurers. Yet this golden age for aviation would not last\, for as car travel became easier and more affordable in the mid- to late-20th century\, air travel in the Adirondacks would fade in importance and necessity. \nImages used in Aviation in the Adirondacks come from the Adirondack Experience: The Museum on Blue Mountain Lake\, Historic Saranac Lake\, Keene Valley Library\, Piseco Lake Historical Society\, Saranac Lake Free Library Adirondack Research Room\, Town of Webb Historical Association\, individuals\, and other organizations. \nAbout The Speaker:\n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Eclipse Experience: Imaging the Eclipse
DESCRIPTION:This program is only offered through Zoom. \nThis presentation will focus on what to expect from the total solar eclipse coming up on April 8th and how to plan for it. We’ll talk about the phases of a total solar eclipse and the tools and resources you can use to make sure you don’t miss any of it. We’ll cover how to safely view or photograph the sun before\, during\, and after totality using a range of equipment like solar glasses\, binoculars\, and sun funnels. And we’ll discuss interesting visual phenomena unique to solar eclipses that you can photograph even more easily and safely than the sun itself. \nImage photo by Steve Dittmar.  \nAbout The Speaker:\n\n\n  \nSponsored by the Adirondack Experience and Albany Public Library in partnership with Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory \n \n
