There are now three flea markets in the Canton and Potsdam area alone. The newest opened yesterday. The village Mayor, Town Supervisor, and vendors were at the grand opening of North Country Neighbors Too.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21983/20130515/turning-downtown-into-an-art-gallery</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 15, 2013) The St. Lawrence Country Arts council kicked off its inaugural community gallery project &quot;Art walk&quot; on Friday night in the villages of Canton and Potsdam. Around 20 local businesses lined their walls and shelves with local art and hosted receptions featuring local artists.The idea of art in local businesses is nothing new. Other communities in the region have held similar events in recent years. St. Lawrence County art leaders hope to foster a long term relationship between the businesses community and local artists. The council contacted local businesses with the idea that shops would stay open late and display local work. The hope is that having the walk will get people to enter places they may not normally go.

<title>Crossing borders to create a small-town Orthodoxy </title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21909/20130503/crossing-borders-to-create-a-small-town-orthodoxy</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 3, 2013) The single most important day in the Orthodox calendar - Easter, or Pascha, is this Sunday.   Many Orthodox churches base their holiest days on the Julian calendar, rather than the Gregorian calendar. Historically, Orthodox communities in the United States have been defined largely by ethnicity and found mostly in urban areas.   But a group of Orthodox Christians in the Canton-Potsdam area has created a mission that brings diverse groups together. They don&apos;t have a permanent worship space, sometimes share priests with the Greek Orthodox Church in Watertown, and even visit a small monastery in Ontario.   Their membership includes students, families and seniors.    This Sunday will mark the group&apos;s first Easter service, or Great Vespers, and a meal of festive foods.

<title>How a young artist is creating her niche in the art world</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21749/20130405/how-a-young-artist-is-creating-her-niche-in-the-art-world</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 5, 2013) Over the next few months, we&apos;ll bring you some of the voices of the many folks in the North Country who make a living in their own workshops, basements and spare rooms. It might sound charming - setting your own work hours - but the artisans we&apos;ve talked to say full-time art is not an easy decision and a lot of hard work. Finding space, commissions, marketing, moral support, and reserving uninterrupted creative time are some of the challenges.Today, a trip to the Potsdam studio of painter, photographer and ceramicist Sara Lynch.  Her paintings are a blend of acrylics and found objects.  She&apos;s experimenting with turning wasp nests into jewelry.  Sara&apos;s ceramics are functional sculptures that combine everyday objects — mugs and bowls — with her favorite flora and fauna.  Todd Moe has more.
