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

Rating: 5 stars  

When I moved to the North Country, I knew no one, but all that changed when I got involved at the arts council. The St. Lawrence County Arts Council has truly enriched me by helping me connect with a community in a way that is important to me. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the store is beautiful, and I am proud to have such a wonderful organization in my community.

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

the fact that I am now an avid jewelry maker. I learned that skill here.

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

give them a bigger space and more staff to work in it.

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

getting to know so many people as passionate about the arts as I am.

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

always willing to help, and very warm and kind.

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

move into a large multiarts center, which is greatly needed in this community. Oh, and it could help support even more artists in the local community, which it already does.

Ways to make it better...

I had gone to the arts council as soon as I moved here rather than waiting.

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

space limitations due to the current location. Also, finances are also tight right now due to the economy.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every week
