SLC Arts hosting PorchFest in Potsdam Sept. 2

Posted

POTSDAM — SLC Arts will host this year’s PorchFest in Potsdam as a part of the third annual North Country Arts Festival.

Porchfest is a national, community-based music and arts event where local musicians, artists, and performers volunteer to showcase their talents on the porches, lawns, and outdoor spaces of residences in a neighborhood.

Porchfest creates a decentralized and inclusive music opportunity that brings people together, promotes local creativity, and fosters a sense of community.

This year, art vendors will also be featured throughout the neighborhood.

Brenda Maxson will be outside of the Pert House, Seaway Ceramics will be outside of the Potsdam Food Co-Op, Holly Chorba and Virginia Burnett at 6 Lawrence Avenue, and Esthela Calderón at 3 Chestnut.

Following PorchFest, SLC Arts will host Sunflo’er and other punk/hardcore bands in Ives Park as a part of the Ives Park Concert series.

Immediately following, there will be a Cinema 10 sponsored showing of “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark”. This event will close the North Country Arts Festival, and is free and open to the public.
