SOUTH OTSELIC – Voted most outstanding project of the year by the Chenango Council of the Arts, the Arts in the Valley series will kick off tonight at Chenango Coffee Roasters in South Otselic.

In early March, the Chenango County Council of the Arts awarded $62,500 to 29 non-profit organizations through the Broome and Chenango Decentralized Grant Program. One of the awards was presented to the Otselic Valley Improvement and Preservation Association for their plan to bring an “Arts in the Valley” series to South Otselic in order to showcase local talent.
