Thanks to the spirit and generosity of LoKo’s benefactors Kathy (Kofoed) Lougheed '54 and her husband Don Lougheed (Hon. '54), SUNY Potsdam celebrates our campus culture of creativity across disciplines.
The LoKo Arts Festival was founded in 2012, to offer students on campus a 10-day arts experience in the Spring. Today, LoKo Arts offers programs in visual, performing, and literary arts throughout the academic year. This includes a 5-day festival to conclude the programming year. In addition to providing students with opportunities to make and engage with art, we welcome visitors to campus to share in the fun.
We support talent on campus and also bring visiting artists to SUNY Potsdam. We are especially enthusiastic about interdisciplinary programs and events. Check out past LoKo activities and consider proposing a project through our application process. Art is for everyone!
Why LoKo?
Being LoKo for the arts means we embrace the diversity of the human experience, challenge individuals to look at life from a variety of perspectives and embody the creative spirit that informs a rich and fulfilling life.
