SLC Arts is a nonprofit organization based in Potsdam, New York, serving St. Lawrence County and the surrounding North Country. Its history began in 1972 as the Arts and Humanities Council of the St. Lawrence Valley and it has evolved through successive reorganizations to its current form. The organization develops and supports arts initiatives by presenting exhibits, classes, performances, and publications, and by organizing community festivals and cultural events; it also provides consulting support to artists and community organizers and acts as a NYSCA State & Local Partnerships Decentralization Regrant Partner, distributing state funds for public art projects.

Its mission is to enrich the vibrancy of the North Country by fostering art appreciation and inspiring creative expression, while promoting access to local art for residents and visitors alike. The group positions itself as a community arts resource intended to stimulate economic development and tourism through arts programming and by supporting artists across disciplines. A recent development noted in 2024 includes expansion of its offices to the United Kingdom and Northern Europe, along with a relocation of its office to Raymond Street.
