Winter ARTWALK
Thursday, January 26
5 – 9 pm
Downtown Rochester
The Rochester Downtown Alliance along with downtown merchants and local artists present an evening ARTWALK. Spend a night alone, or with a group, enjoying local art and entertainment in downtown Rochester on the ARTWALK route for an exciting arts experience. At each venue, register for your chance to win a downtown prize package... the more stops you visit, the more chances you have to win! For refueling along the route: stop and grab a bite to eat, or a beverage, at one of the participating ARTWALK restaurants!
Visit Rochester Art Center during the ARTWALK to catch a behind-the-scenes tour of our upcoming exhibitions as we prepare for their installation. Rochester artist Michele Heidel (featured in RAC²: Rochester Abstraction) will lead a hands-on activity inspired by her work currently on view in the galleries.
