6x6 began as a small fundraising exhibition, but has grown into an international art phenomenon. 6x6x2011: Global is the fourth exhibition of thousands of original artworks, made and donated by celebrities, international and local artists, designers, college students, youths, and YOU. Each artwork will be 6x6 square inches and signed only on the back, to be exhibited anonymously. All artworks will be for sale to the public for $20 each to benefit Rochester Contemporary Art Center (RoCo). Artist names will be revealed to the buyer only upon purchase and all works will remain on display for the duration of the exhibition.Beginning July 1st, the names of artists whose artworks have completely sold out will be revealed online next to their pieces. The 6x6x2011 Online Gallery will be available (www.roco6x6.org) for previewing on May 28th and global online purchasing will begin June 6 at 10am.

6x6x2011 tests the viewers’ ability to identify famous and local artists’ work and challenges everyone to support the arts by buying what you like, regardless of the signature, at a very reasonable price! Anyone may participate in 6x6x2011.

Last year’s exhibition included over 5,000 artworks by 2,000 artists from 43 US states and 22 countries! Over 7,000 people attended 6x6x2010 and over 1,700 artworks have been purchased!
