Organizers of the Art Literally benefit have stirred up the pots this year for their third annual show and sale.
The event benefits the Roswell P. Flower Memorial Library and the Red Cross of Northern New York. Last year's event raised $11,931, which was split between the two organizations, according to Art Literally board member Maxine M. Quigg.

This year's show and sale will be a juried event. The jurors are Mary Ellen Kalil Shevalier, an art teacher at South Jefferson Central School District, Adams, and Kari Robertson, an artist and former art educator who is the president of the North Country Arts Council.
A donor, who organizers said wishes to remain anonymous, has donated 20clay flowerpots for this year's Art Literally. The containers will be decorated by artists and be sold in addition to items in the regular Art Literally art sale.
