In spite of the economic conditions with which we all have had to deal, the Cultural Council of
Cortland County has taken advantage of a timely opportunity and, as one of our board members
so aptly put it, taken a giant leap of faith this year by moving to a new location. Instead of the
cramped, windowless quarters of about 120 square feet that has served as our office for the last
several years, we now have a recently renovated, brightly lit suite including a workshop room, a
gallery space and an office.
The new location is located on the 2nd floor at 9 North Main St. in Downtown Cortland. We now
have classes four nights weekly including classes in oil painting, watercolor, painting for
adaptive students, and life drawing. We will have our first gallery show beginning in mid-
November and are planning more classes in 2010 including a digital photography class. Want
to teach music lessons, voice lessons, or a painting workshop? We have the space; let us know!
Please let us know what you think of our programs, including both praise and criticism. Our
mission directs us to “foster the arts in Cortland County,” and we exist to serve the community in
this regard.
Thank you for your past support, and we look forward to including you as a Cultural Council
member for 2010. Membership runs from November 1, 2009 to November 1, 2010. We value
you as a supporter of local arts and culture!
We hope you believe in our mission and have the confidence in us to renew and even upgrade
your membership level for 2010!

In its continuing effort to foster collaboration between artists and businesses, the Cultural Council of Cortland
County is organizing the 2010 Seven Valley Arts Trail. By special invitation, several Cortland County locations,
including local restaurants, medical offices and banks, have been chosen as display sites. The artists will be
selected through a jury process. Selected artists will provide six to twelve works to display in one location.
Work must be suitable for wall hanging and can be in any medium including photography. Applications will
be juried by a panel of three qualified jurors including one from SUNY Cortland, one from the public schools
and an artist from the Cortland Art League. Decisions will be based solely on the art work. Artists are invited
to apply regardless of their geographical location, though works by selected artists have to be hand delivered
to Cortland.
All work must be for sale. The Cultural Council will collect a 20 % commission on all sales. Sales will be
handled by the Cultural Council, and checks will be distributed monthly. Artists will receive publicity via the
Cultural Council’s e-newsletter “Arts and Living.” They will be listed on a full-color palm card featuring the
Seven Valley Arts Trail and distributed throughout the area. They will be included on the website www.
cortlandarts.com. An artist will be featured monthly in a regional press release.
Six to twelve works will be required, maximum size 48 inches by 48 inches unless arrangements are made
beforehand. Works will be rotated mid-year. To apply, artists need to send the following by Monday, January
25, 2010. Applicants will be notified by Monday, February 1. The Cultural Council plans to have all work hung
by mid-February. All information may be sent via email. The application fee can be paid by check or credit
card by calling 607-753-7786.
