POTSDAM â The North Country Childrenâs Museum, in collaboration with the Potsdam Chamber of Commerce, St. Lawrence County Arts Council, Big Spoon Kitchen, and SUNY Potsdam, is asking the public to participate in its inaugural Snowman Festival in downtown Potsdam.

In case of extreme weather or not enough snow, the event will take place on Feb. 27.

The St. Lawrence County Arts Council seeks artists to submit works for a black-and-white art exhibit.
In French, the number 21 is vingt-et-un, directly translated to twenty and one. In honor of the new year, SLC Arts’ 2021 exhibits ask North Country artists to explore the relationships between two things. SLC Arts invites artists to submit their work for their first exhibit of 2021: Black & White. For this exhibit, no specific medium is preferred, but the content must be in black and white. Submissions are due by January 21st, and artists may submit up to five pieces.
This exhibit will be held virtually, with an unveiling over Zoom Thursday, Feb. 4 at 7 p.m. Starting this year, SLC Arts’ exhibits will be juried shows, with the following fees: $10 for non-partners, $5 for basic creative partners, and free for enhanced creative partners.
