Rochester Contemporary Art Center and ThINC are working to establish a regular exchange of art and ideas between several New York Cities. This system of transport will further enable the arts community to visit city-wide Gallery Nights in both Syracuse and Rochester (‘Third Thursday’ in Syracuse and the newly established ‘First Friday’ in Rochester). Refreshments will be served on the bus and ThINC will work with the Art Center to curate the upcoming trips with video, performance, readings and talks that will enliven the journey and contextualize the events that lay ahead at the destination city.
