Rochester Contemporary Art Center (RoCo) — Attraction in City of Rochester

Came to 6x6 fundraiser and it was a great time! I stayed downstairs and got to see all the amazing art featured in this exhibition! They told me there were studios upstairs but I was with a group of friends and family, didn’t want to get too far. So much to see! I didn’t know it was $5 to enter but good to know for next time, there was a line to get in we were standing out the door.

Under normal circumstances RoCo is an eclectic place to stop in and visit. A minor donation gets you in the doors.

COVID-19 has put a temporary damper on in person visits but it won't keep Bleu and the gallery down.

Their 6x6 sale is their major fundraiser and features thousands of donated art available for sale at $20 apiece. They also have complementary frames available for sale, too.

Located on East Ave downtown it's a great place to unwind...
