RAC2: Rochester Artists Collaborative
An Exhibition Series for Local Artists
To provide consistent and meaningful opportunities for Rochester artists to exhibit their work, Rochester Art Center initiates a new program this fall—RAC2. This exhibition series is dedicated to presenting the work of local artists and providing our primary audience, the residents of Rochester, with an opportunity to connect with artistic practices in their own community. As the title suggests, this series is organized in close collaboration between Rochester Art Center and the RAC2 Advisory Committee, comprised of local artists, arts instructors, arts organization leaders, and members of the community at large. This committee, with support from RAC staff, will oversee and guide all aspects the gallery program. As an exhibition series designed for local artists, only residents of Olmsted County were eligible to submit proposals for consideration. The series will run for 7 months, from October 2011 to May 2012, and will be presented in a dedicated location on the third floor of Rochester Art Center.
