We can't say it better, so we will share what our friends at The Arc GLOW and The Arc Allegany-Steuben said - we are ONLY The Arc Otsego - not the ARC, A-R-C, or A.R.C.

Our name changed over 20 years ago, with intention and purpose in removing harmful words from the acronym of our name. The Arc in our name represents the services that we provide for individuals in Otsego County with intellectual and developmental disabilities over the "arc" of their lifetime.

We appreciate your help in updating your language when speaking about what we do, and correcting others when you hear it!

We’re sharing this after our friends at The Arc Allegany-Steuben shared something similar 🧡

Arc GLOW has been part of this community in different iterations since 1961, and over the years you may have known us by different names and chapters. Since 2021, however, we have been Arc GLOW.

While in the past The Arc was written in all capital letters, this is no longer the case, as it is no longer an acronym. When referring to us, please use “The Arc,” “Arc,” or “Arc GLOW.”

Thank you for supporting us throughout the years—we’re looking forward to all that 2026 will bring!

2026 brings changes to our Main View Pottery + More space!

It's always been about creativity and community, and over the past few months we listened, took a pause, and reimagined the space.

What’s next: a refreshed creative space with more hands-on art experiences, rotating classes, workshops, and space for private rental for creative, artsy, or educational gatherings.

We're re-launching with the same heart and more ways to create.

Details coming soon, like + follow for updates.

After 15 years with The Arc Otsego at Creekside Industries, our warehouse manager Ron is retiring! While we are so happy for him, we are sad to see him go - we hope you enjoy these messages from those that Ron works with each day. It goes to show you what an impact our staff have on the people around them!
