POTSDAM — The five artists who applied to be part of the first Potsdam arts incubator program finished the last session of a 10-week training course Wednesday.

Over the next month, the artists will submit their business plans to the village’s grant review committee to try to get a slice of an $80,000 grant. The training course, organized by the St. Lawrence County Arts Council, taught artists how to set realistic goals and develop a business.

The money will be used to expand product lines, rent storefronts or hire employees.
