Lake Placid New York Public Library Information page

HISTORY OF THE GALLERY
Guy Brewster Hughes was born in Plattsburgh, NY
Nov. 23, 1928. He was influenced and encouraged
in his artistic efforts by his great aunt Julia Brewster,
herself a noted watercolorist.

As a watercolorist, Hughes exhibited in Los Angeles,
Boston, Buffalo, at various Vermont locations,
and locally. Mr. Hughes died on June 11, 1992.

MISSION STATEMENT
Hughes’ great wish was that this library, which he loved, should one day have a public
space devoted to works of Adirondack artists. This gallery is the fulfillment of that wish.
We invite the public to visit and experience the wide range of talented artists who
show at the Gallery on a regular basis.

Fine artists in our region are fortunate to have free gallery space to show their work. The Library encourages and supports the arts by welcoming artists who have years of experience as well as those who are just beginning to emerge in the field. The styles are varied and exciting. The collection is ever-changing.

Artists’ League of Lake Placid

The Library is a meeting place for many types of community groups.

The Artists’ League of Lake Placid holds monthly meetings at the library. Many League members show their work at Hughes Gallery. This League is a recently formed group of regional artists, who inspire, challenge, educate and empower each other. Their aim is to enrich the cultural life of their community.

Conversation and Critique

Weekly “Conversation and Critique” meetings are held as well. Artists gather to discuss their work, offer suggestions and encouragement and share techniques. Discussions center around the tools of the trade and trends in art, news about contemporary artists, a little art history, and anything else relevant to the field of art.

These meetings are open to the public and any artist may attend.
