Fashioned in collaboration with treasured artist Barney Bellinger, the makerspace gives visitors an opportunity to create pieces inspired by artwork within the exhibition and the beauty of the Adirondacks.
"Inspiration is derived through my lifestyle of exploring backwoods ponds, lakes and mountain trails. Foraging for raw materials is always an opportunity to study natural forms and color." -Barney Bellinger, 2017.
Artist Barney Bellinger virtually welcomes visitors to the makerspace through a life-sized projection sharing his creative vision. His commitment to conservation and supporting young artists is evident through his creations and the partnerships he has fostered as a renowned and accomplished artist.
To enhance the immersive feel of the exhibition, each of the main galleries will be bathed with subtle and evocative soundscapes that complement the gallery theme. Sound is a powerful feature; it creates a more accessible experience and is proven to strengthen visitor engagement and enjoyment.

Visitors put themselves in the shoes of Adirondack artists to explore scale and the rugged landscapes that have long lured creative visionaries. They can take a deeper look at paintings to build understanding of scale and depth, zooming out from the small details to the monumentalism of mountain peaks. To build empathy with artists of the past, families can "pack a packbasket" - selecting the art, materials, food, water, and other essentials needed for a productive undertaking.
Satisfying the most wanted experience in a traditional art exhibition, a large-scale, three-dimensional rendering of Tait's "Fishing Through the Ice" gives visitors the opportunity to explore art through the sense of touch.
Hands-on interactives invite families to play with shade and shadow, colors, shapes, and materials. Visitors can work together to manipulate a variety of materials - some opaque, others transparent - in front of light sources to gain insights into artists' choices in creating their compositions.
Visitors digitally transform William Richardson Tyler's painting "West Mountain, Raquette Lake" by adjusting light and color. Learning by doing, visitors will see how the quality of light an artist selects creates mood in the finished work.
