We want your art that showcases the light, dark, and shadows to bring our community together this winter. We welcome artists to submit paintings, photography, fiber art, sketches, collage/mixed media, and sculpture, but if you have something that isn’t on this list, please send it our way for consideration. The Lake Placid Public Library‘s community art show is just that–a place for varied creative voices in the depths of our North Country winter. Established and emerging artists are encouraged to submit their work.
To submit your work for consideration, please fill out the online submission form and include:
Digital image of your work
100-200 word artist statement
Dimensions of your work
Media type (example: painting, photograph, film, sculpture, textile, etc.)
If this artwork has been shown before, please include when and where it was shown (example: Lake Placid Center for the Arts, July-August 2023)
The deadline for all submissions is Monday, November 16, 2026. Please limit 3 submissions per artist. Fill out one submission form per piece. You will be notified about whether your work has been chosen by early December. If your work is selected, the deadline to drop it off at the Lake Placid Public Library is Wednesday, December 23, 2026. Works will be on display from January through March (2027). Artists must return to pick up their pieces. Exact dates of the show will be announced when works are selected.
The following passes will be available for the 2026 season. They are located on the top shelf of the periodicals stand in the Main Floor Reading Room. For availability, call 518-523-3200 or check in our catalog using the links below.

Arriving by Paddle
During the summer, you are invited to paddle to the library. Please enter behind the nonfiction annex and pull your watercraft onto the shore.
There is a stone bottom for entering and existing your watercraft for approximately 6 feet from the shoreline. There are 2 steps, but no railing so please place a hand on the ground as you enter and exit the water.
There is a steep drop after that and swimming is prohibited. Please use caution and enjoy the lake at your own risk.
