General Info
You are invited to visit 4 floors of studios where you can see imagination unleashed. We have painters, jewelers, printmakers, photographers, sculptors, sign-makers, weavers, and guest artists, who show new work, reveal secrets, and discuss special commissions.
Our First Fridays, 2nd Saturdays and Seasonal Open Studios events are free and open to the public. Children are welcome!
Some artists will be working during our events, so you may ask questions about their medium of choice to better understand their creative process.
Some of the arts you may see include drawing, painting, pastels, ceramics, fiber arts, textiles, printmaking, photography, mixed media, sculpture, weaving, and book and lettering arts.
This is a unique opportunity, in Rochester, to visit artists in their own workspace and to purchase original, one-of-a-kind artwork.
