In preparation for a landmark exhibition opening in 2027 on L'expérience noire dans les Adirondacks, the Adirondack Experience is hosting collecting events around New York State.

Your objects tell the full story of Black life in the Adirondacks. We are seeking a wide range of materials, including photographs, souvenirs, letters, postcards, recipes, clothing, and video clips from the Adirondacks. Any object or memory that holds a piece of the story is a vital piece of this history.

Come visit with Project Curator Charles Clark III at his Lake Placid collecting event held in conjunction with the Initiative pour la diversité dans les Adirondacks with support from The Devlin. Help us tell your story and be part of this upcoming exhibit!
