The expansion will mean they can bring more of those<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>courses back to the main campus. The campus also brings the school to the attention of more people and has space for larger projects, like canoe building, Sagamore chair making, and weaving.<\/p>\n<p>The expansion will also add a commercial kitchen to provide more courses in Adirondack food and kitchen crafts like soap making, canning, bread making and maple syrup making.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like to include more indigenous skills, as well as family and kids crafts classes,\u201d said Cerveny.<\/p>\n<p>Philanthropy is vital to the success of the school. There will be additional fundraising and grant proposals to fund the expansion, but ongoing fundraising is essential to keep the costs of courses and programs reasonable. A grant from the Adirondack Foundation\u2019s Generous Acts Fund provides a $250 scholarship for students in need.<\/p>\n<p>The school\u2019s Hearts for the Arts Gala fundraiser is on Sept. 30 at the Hitching Post in Lake Luzerne. The event is a celebration of the arts and traditions of the Adirondacks with live music, hors d\u2019oeurves, dinner, a silent auction stocked with hand-made crafts from the school\u2019s patrons, donated baskets from local vendors and the presentation of the annual Patron of the Arts award.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the school or to purchase Gala tickets, visit adirondackfolkschool.org or call 518-696-2400.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ann Donnelly The Adirondack Folk School, based in Lake Luzerne, has started the process of expanding its facilities by 10,000 square feet to accommodate its programs on the main campus.\u00a0 Executive Director Terri Cerveny sent out\u00a0 Request for Proposals(RFP) to architecture and design firms and expects to award the project sometime in October.
