SARANAC LAKE — Third Thursday ArtWalks are returning for the season today.

Organized and hosted by Saranac Lake ArtWorks and the Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, the 2024 ArtWalks series will be held along the streets of downtown Saranac Lake from 5 to 7:30 p.m. today, July 18, Aug. 15 and Sept. 19. There are already more than 55 artists signed up to participate this month — painters, musicians, weavers, authors, jewelers, photographers, wood carvers and more.

“ArtWorks is proud to carry on the tradition of this creative community celebration of the arts,” said Sandra Hildreth, president of Saranac Lake ArtWorks. “There are also quite a few first time artists signed up. It’s exciting to see these events grow every year.”

The Station will provide entertainment at the Berkeley Green Bandshell from 5 to 7:30 p.m. and other artists — June in the Woods, Nubble, Steve McAuley, Russ Cook, Galen Halasz and Glenn Burnett — will perform along the sidewalks throughout the evening.

Registration for the Third Thursday ArtWalks will remain open through the summer and is free for artists of all backgrounds and skill levels. Visit saranaclakeartworks.org to learn more and to register online.
