A Successful Season of Creativity: 2025 ADKX Artist-in-Residence Program

The ADKX is proud to celebrate the success of its inaugural Artist-in-Residence program. From June through September, four talented artists lived and worked on-site, drawing inspiration from the museum’s natural surroundings, collections, and community.

During their residencies, each artist developed a unique body of work while engaging with visitors in public spaces and leading hands-on activities in the Art Lab makerspace. The program fostered meaningful connections between artists and the public, blending personal creativity with shared exploration of Adirondack stories and landscapes.

Selected through a highly competitive process, the artists were chosen from 114 applicants representing 43 countries across six continents. Their diverse approaches and perspectives enriched the museum experience and contributed to a vibrant season.

We’re thrilled to announce that the works created during the residencies have been added to the ADKX permanent collection. You can explore the pieces completed during their time at the museum by clicking below.
