Art in The Adirondacks

Majestic peaks, sparkling lakes and colorful skies are just a few of the reasons that the Adirondack region has inspired artisans for centuries. Another regional draw is the abundance of exhibit opportunities such as the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council’s Fall Arts Festival. This year marks the 27th anniversary and will bring more than sixty fine artists and craftspersons to the LARAC center in Queensbury (11/7-8). The juried show highlights a creative mix of works as well as delicious baked goods and unique selections for pre-holiday gift buying.

Drag that polyester suit out of the closet. Zip up that sparkly dress. The World's Largest Disco is calling!

This spectacular (and hilarious) event (11/28) draws thousands of disco revelers to Buffalo’s Convention Center each year (attendance is limited to 7,000). Along with some of your favorite stars -- think Brady, Partridge, Ewing, Estrada -- you’ll be surrounded by the sights and sounds of the '70's.

Be ready to dance. They’re pumping 72,000 watts of disco sound on Western NY's largest dance floor! Far out, huh?

What a thrill to discover an antique toy or a mysterious heirloom tool!

Cooperstown’s Fenimore Art Museum and New York State Historical Association have culled their vast collections of antique household items to create an exquisite exhibit called Bits of Home. Visitors easily imagine days (and plays) of yore as thousands of these items are displayed in settings reminiscent of their original surroundings and purpose (through 12/31).
