Loading...Changing Seasons Paintings at ARTigras
In August, Rochester will once again be the home to a new fine arts festival. The First Annual ARTigras is sheduled for August 22, 2009. It will be a daylong celebration of the arts to be held in Mayo Park (behind the Civic Center). Activities offered free of charge in this noon to 7 pm event include an ARTiStage, ARTiKids activities and an ARTists Village.
I will have a tent set up in the ARTists Village, so you will be able to see and buy a much larger assortment of work then is available at the Gallery on the Peace Plaza. I will be displaying my latest series of paintings (Changing Seasons) at this event, be sure to get there. You’ll also want to venture over to the Peace Plaza to check out The Blues and Barbeque Festival that will be held in the there from 4 pm to 10:30 pm. The $25 tickets for the Blues & Barbecue Festival will be pre-sold and are available through the Rochester Convention & Visitors Bureau. In addition, several downtown Rochester restaurants and businesses will offer ARTigras specials throughout the day. For more details on ARTigras visit the Rochester Arts Council website.
