The Sacandaga Valley Arts Network is excited to present the works of Leslie Ford in her current exhibition: “Incandescent- Aiming Light as a Guide” This exhibition will be open September 18 – November 22 during library hours.
Meet Leslie October 3rd, 6-8pm at our artist reception. Refreshments will be provided.

“Paintings are created from light- each color, shade, and variation represents light vibrating uniquely on the canvas. Your eye joins in the creation of the experience by taking in, translating, and interpreting what the light brings to you. This showing offers you a chance to enter into the relationship of light sharing and interpretation.”

Leslie creates in acrylics and mixed media. She shares her completed and in-progress works on her Lyric Refuge Fine Arts Facebook page.

Leslie Ford’s sources of inspiration begin with the foundation of family, friends, and school colleagues woven with music, light, and metaphor. Living within the light and beauty of the Adirondacks helps her translate questions, stories and meaning to canvas.

In order to help you and your child prepare for that all-important next big step, kindergarten, we have designed the Focus Five: Kindergarten Readiness Program. We are excited to offer this new and one of a kind program – free of charge, of course! This program has been developed based on universal and specific readiness skills as identified by the Johnstown Kindergarten teachers. Children who turn 4 years old on or before December 1, 2023 and plan to begin kindergarten in the Fall of 2024 are eligible to participate.
