“The Days The Artists Spoke” series was really fun and interesting. Hearing from others about their artist statements and viewpoints was amazing. It was interesting to see the congruencies and incongruences between the art being presented and the process/statement of the art. It was also interesting to see how individuals came to find art and why they continued to do art. Read more…

“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…

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…
