A Smaller and More Independent Gallery...

There are tons of galleries around Rochester!  I highlighted the new sculpture Park at the Memorial Art Gallery recently, which most folks know about. If you're looking for a more independent feel check out the 1975 Gallery which is located where the old Little Bakery was downtown. Often as seasons and shows change they transform the inside as well as the outside of the building. Take the time to see the video here.

Up and Coming Around Rochester!

Have you driven by the Memorial Art Gallery to see the changes lately? They've taken down the dark and dreary black fence, and they have replaced it with a dynamic and interactive sculpture park.  It's not finished yet, but the transformation is pretty amazing to watch! Here's some photos and miniatures that have assisted in the planning phase.



Here's a quick video about Wendell Castle (the top image) who is working on what's coming to Centennial Sculpture Park next. He generally works on indoor sculptures, and he's been working intentionally to consider all the factors that will need to be considered for an outdoor sculpture. Check it out!
