Join us for First Friday; our gallery and studio spaces will be open to the public!

OPEN STUDIOS WITH OUR SUMMER RESIDENTS!

The Yards Art Collective invites you to meet and welcome our summer residents this First Friday July 7th from 6-9pm! These artists have moved in and are opening up their studios at our location in Rochester’s Public Market to share their practice and progress with you! 

Witness live painting and printmaking, along with collage, textile and ink drawings from a group of exciting artists developing their practice together this summer at the Yards. Featuring artworks by Lucy Angrisano, Ludmila Begley, Jeanette Cargill, Emily Collins, Christina Counts, Rachel Rochelle and Sam Symonds. Bring an article of clothing or another appropriate cloth product and Sam Symonds will run one of a few original silkscreens on it. 

First Friday is a monthly citywide gallery night that encourages collaboration between art venues in Rochester, NY. This initiative showcases area artists and smaller arts institutions by promoting the First Friday evening of each month from 6-9pm as a community night for experiencing art. First Friday ensures a healthy art scene and a healthy city through regular exchange between venues, artists and patrons.
