Improving the Flow		    
 
We've recently added a second entrance to the media room in our main gallery space. A much needed renovation, this new entrance drastically improves the flow of our walk-up gallery.

New History Tours

 

The New History Tours are a series of guided bicycle tours that explore Rochester's obscure and radical history. For example, few people know that the founders of Western Union; Hiram Sibley, Don Alonzo Watson and Ezra Cornell are sometimes referred to as the fathers of the internet. The New History Tours take riders to the site and tell the story.

The New History Tours depart from and return to Rochester Contemporary Art Center. The August 28th ride was attended by 75 riders.

For more information visit the New History Tours website.

Art Bus

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.
