WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) -
SLC Arts is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2021 Decentralization Regrants. SLC Arts offers three grant opportunities for artists, arts organizations, municipalities, and 501(c)3 non-profit organizations throughout St. Lawrence, Jefferson, and Lewis Counties. Each year, through the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Regrant Program, SLC Arts distributes over $60,000 in state funds throughout the North Country, for the purpose of arts programming. Projects of all artistic disciplines funded through this program include, but are not limited to: concerts, theatrical performances, art classes, public art exhibitions, and even the creation of new, community-based work.
The society purchased six lots for a total of $17,200.
They were among the dozens of lots in the âCampâ collection sold last Sunday at the online auction hosted by Blanchardâs Auction Service, Potsdam. The collection descended through the Camp family from Sackets Harbor. The material was recently removed by the Campsâ direct descendants from the Federal home that Col. Elisha and Sophia Hale Camp built from 1805 to 1815 and in which the descendants have remained until now.
Elisha Camp, brother-in-law of village founder Augustus Sacket, moved to Sackets Harbor in 1804. Mr. Camp arrived in the village after graduating from Columbia Law School and became one of the most prominent citizens of the north country. He wore a dizzying array of hats, including postmaster, militia officer, deputy New York state district attorney, politician, newspaper owner and editor, banker and a substantial landowner with a special interest in local mills, Lake Ontario and shipping.
