Artists Jeremiah and Roger proudly display their favorite paintings.
(02/22/12) Paintings, jewelry and photographs by dozens of St. Lawrence county artists are on display in a new gallery on Canton's Main Street. Like most galleries, you can shop for local art. But the mission of the GOAL space, which stands for Gallery of Art and Learning, includes creativity, inspiration and career development.
The art on GOAL's walls and shelves was created by more than 50 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities served by St. Lawrence NYSARC. Todd Moe took a tour of Canton's newest art gallery.

It offers people with disabilities a chance to express their talents in the areas of theater, dance, music, and visual art. And as Todd Moe found out, the NYSARC students also had the unique experience of working with college students and taking acting classes at SUNY Potsdam.
