The newly established not-for-profit corporation is an advocate for all regional artists as well as  shops and activities where artists sell their work. 

The corporation maintains three regional websites: (www.northcountryartists.org; www.artdacks.org; and www.fingerlakesartists.org), where detailed, cross-referenced listings are posted of artists, shops, galleries, events, and opportunities, and other arts-related pages. All basic listings are free. Applications  can be made online by going to www.upstateartists.org. or to any of the regional websites.
