<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 5, 2012) Artist Frederic Remington&apos;s bronze sculptures of cowboys, native Americans, and cavalry are considered prized collector&apos;s items.  The Remington Museum in Ogdensburg is using the latest digital technology to reproduce one of Remington&apos;s first and most popular sculptures, The Bronco Buster.   Original sculptures, cast in multiples, were made and sold during Remington&apos;s lifetime.  The museum is using an original casting in its collection as a model for a series of 3-D laser-scanned copies.  Todd Moe visited the Remington Museum for a chat with curator Laura Foster and executive director Ed Lavarnway about using computers and high tech cameras to create hyper-accurate reproductions of Remington&apos;s art.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/16911/20110112/long-lake-community-art-project-celebrates-winter</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 12, 2011) Two artists who love winter and the outdoors will team up on a community art project in Long Lake this week. Adirondack native Matt Burnett and Scott Fuller will create illuminated snow sculptures in several locations.The project, called “E-lumination”, will include projected lights and images on the snow sculptures at night. The artists hope they’ll challenge viewers to think about art, nature and technology. The exhibit will officially open on Friday night to kick off Long Lake’s Winter Carnival.Two years ago, Matt Burnett and Scott Fuller collaborated on a 50-foot spiral ice wall in Saranac Lake that was illuminated with tea candles. Burnett, known for his Adirondack landscape paintings, is also a member of “Saranac Lake Art Works,” a group that promotes local artists and events. Todd Moe spoke with him about the Long Lake exhibit and creating large scale outdoor art installations.

<title>Artwork that&apos;s really play</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/12933/20090206/artwork-that-apos-s-really-play</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 6, 2009) Most artists will tell you that art is a career you never retire from.  And that&apos;s the joy of being an artist.  Max Coots is probably best known for having been the Minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Canton.  He retired in 1992 after nearly 40 years in the pulpit.  His well-crafted sermons and meditative poems have been published in books, but his sculptures may come as a surprise.  It was only since retiring at the age of 65 that he’s been able to pursue his love of art and working with clay.  Now in his early 80’s, he’s proof that you’re never too old to follow your passions.   Todd Moe has more. Max Coots will receive an Arts Recognition Award on Saturday as part of the St. Lawrence County Arts Council’s Membership Celebration at 4 pm in Potsdam. To be followed by the opening of a new exhibit of his sculptures.

<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 8, 2008) Keep a close eye on the summer Olympics coverage, not just for the athletes but the art, too.  Two large, outdoor sculptures with ties to the Adirondacks are in Beijing’s Olympic Sculpture Park. The stone and metal pieces are two of fifty outdoor sculptures on display. The exhibition aims to promote international cultural links. Stone sculptors John Van Alstine and Caroline Ramersdorfer visited Beijing last year to supervise the start of construction.  Both have installed art in galleries and public spaces around the world. This time, they’re among 50 people, 25 from China and 25 from elsewhere,  displaying their artwork around Olympic venues.  Todd Moe visited their southern Adirondack studio to find out what it&apos;s like for artists to make it to the Olympics.

<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 30, 2006) Many boaters ply the St. Lawrence, but few likely have a clue who St. Lawrence was.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/7415/20060525/becky-harblin-art-in-the-garden</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 25, 2006) Open Studio co-hosts Beth Robinson and Hilary Oak recently joined gardener Becky Harblin at her West Potsdam farm in St. Lawrence County.  It was just after a thunderstorm rumbled through and dropped buckets of rain. Becky’s backyard and garden plots are filled with herbs, perennials, wildflowers and surrounded by sturdy stone walls. It’s a place where everything comes together—nature and art. Scattered among the garden “rooms” are her handmade sculptures.
