Application notesEmail the application package or a link to cbraunstein@theadkx.org. Include a one-page letter explaining your existing or desired connection to the Adirondacks, the benefit to your work and regional inspiration; artist statement/biography; 8–15 portfolio works, including at least five publicly exhibited in museums or galleries or sold to private collectors; an Art Lab activity concept; and known conflicts for June, July, August and September. Etsy or similar online craft sales do not meet the five-work requirement. Digital-first and performance artists must explain how visitors can watch an enriching creative process; a culminating performance or screen-based working alone is insufficient. Do not submit workshop proposals unless invited to interview. Questions are due November 30; late or incomplete applications are excluded.
