Review for St. Lawrence County Arts Council, Potsdam, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The St. Lawrence County Arts Council is a great organization. I have taken a number of wonderfvl workshops in jewelry-making,calligraphy, and water colors and have as a result been able to improve my skills in these areas. The gift shop is abundantly stocked with a variety of items made by local artisans which make wonderful, thoughtful gifts. Local artists also have a gallery to showcase their various mediums. Becoming a member of the Arts Council and receiving its quarterly newspaper keeps me in touch with what is going on in the regional art world. Three cheers for this great organization.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

helping me develop the artistic abilities that were latent.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

get a larger place in which to operate

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the variety of artists that have been hired to teach their in their special areas

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

very friendly and willing to help.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

build a multi-arts center for the north country communities

Ways to make it better...

if the Arts Council had a larger space in which to hold classes.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

raising enough funds to expand at all levels.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every month
