Dear LARAC Members, Donors, Patrons, Artists, and

Dear LARAC Members, Donors, Patrons, Artists, and Community Members,

2023 marks LARAC’s 51st year as a community organization. Our mission of serving the arts and culture in the Lower Adirondack Region has never wavered, instead only intensified as we have continued to keep our focus on our community. Our efforts are to support our region's artists and creatives, while simultaneously uplifting and making a positive impact. To everyone who has supported us, thank you for helping us make it this far.

In 2023, LARAC launched two exciting new initiatives; in January, we made the commitment to keep the former Mountain Gallery, located on Bay Street, open as an active gallery space. We believed in its positive impact so much that we rebranded and opened the space as the new LARAC Mountain Gallery, offering eight gallery exhibitions and numerous workshops taught by regional artists/instructors throughout the year. We also launched our inaugural Under 40 Arts Festival in August; a festival designed to support our region's younger artists, encourage their creativity, and support them on their artistic journey.

LARAC has been operating at a high level with only one part time and two full time employees for the past two years. We have been working tirelessly to uphold our mission.

With funds from our Annual Appeal, it is our goal to:

1. Hire a third full time employee to help further enhance our abilities.

2. Put forth our best effort to keep the LARAC Mountain Gallery open. LARAC Mountain Gallery has been well received this year, fully funded by LARAC at a cost of $40,000. We want to continue with this space into 2024 and beyond.

3. Increase our current employee salaries to help with the increase of today’s cost of living.

LARAC has a goal of raising $70,000 by December 31st.
