“State of the City 2011: In the Loop” was especially meaningful to us. The exhibit gave a sense of the history and a feeling that Rochester was poised for some re-imagining. Now when we walk, bike or drive past the parts of the Inner Loop that are now filled in, we can savor those feelings that the exhibit stirred up. Read more…

I became a RoCo member to support the effort in promoting international art in North America. To be able to join exhibitions outside of the EU is important for many artists, as it offers the possibility to be seen by more people. Read more…

RoCo is so completely unique to our city. I love the way it connects local, regional and international artists, both as a way for the artists to present their work and as a way to educate and share ideas in our community. Every time i’ve stopped in i’ve had an enriching experience i wouldn’t find anywhere else. Read more…

My favorite past exhibition is Vanish, because of the powerful and thought-provoking message that the artists involved in it conveyed through their unique perspectives on loss. State of the City: Street-ish will always hold a special place in my heart though, because my earliest memory of RoCo takes place during this exhibit, when I stumbled upon the public artwork Sun Boxes by Craig Colorusso.

We love RoCo because it offers an amazing array of contemporary art in an urban and intimate setting. They feature local, national, professional, and amateur artists, something from/for everybody. RoCo is unique to Rochester, and a place where we always feel at home and far away at the same time. Read more…

We just love the energy the 6×6 show brings to the whole city. We love how it turns new people into artists and gets them talking about the work they made and the work they purchased. Every year I [we] have interesting conversations about art with people both inside RoCo during the 6×6, and outside with people who never would have otherwise felt comfortable talking about art.Read more…
