Rochester Contemporary Art Center
"6 x 6"
18th Annual Exhibition
How many times have you walked into an art gallery and seen over six thousand pieces hanging on the walls? Amazing! That is what happened to us the other day when we strolled into RoCo!
Greeting you at the Annual 6"x6"
at RoCo
This is the 18th Annual show and sale of the 6"x6" artworks which has achieved an amazing amount of support from our community and from artists here and abroad! If you haven't gone there to see the show - what are you waiting for?!! You have to go! On view now on the gallery walls are the pieces that are still unsold - that's right - almost half of the over 6000 artworks submitted to RoCo have been sold! This is a great way to support our community culture and RoCo in particular.
"Treat Soil As An Art Object"
this and other stories along with all of this creative endeavor at RoCo
I walked through the exhibition with my wife, and this show made me so happy! In this exhibition there is an art for everyone, and you are bound to find something ( I confess ) hanging up in the gallery that you just have to buy for yourself ( or a nice gift for someone! ).
Any person who is so inclined can enter a work for sale over the years, and you don't have to be a professional artist! There are some beautiful works on view at RoCo, and even some by the pros!
Weavings, paintings, prints, sculpture, cartoons, and so much more at RoCo
Since they started this venture years ago, I have sent them a few 6" x 6" pieces each year and I have also purchased several for my own collection. There is a nice video made at RoCo on the opening of the show and you can hear what people have to say about the annual show. I noticed Mark Stash, the editor of "Life in the Finger Lakes" magazine - he was one of the people interviewed in the video and you can see three of his landscapes that he donated to the present show.

Rochester Contemporary
This is probably not an easy show to mount in a gallery especially with workers climbing up and down to fit everything in. I want to thank all the workers and volunteers who put this show on the map! This is something that RoCo should be very proud of, and it brings in a whole new audience each time! See this show before the last day on July 20th, then you can pick up the pieces you purchased! Enjoy!
