Rochester Art Center is excited to announce a partnership with Think Bank to offer free admission to all visitors throughout the month of January. Think Bank’s generous sponsorship reflects a shared commitment to fostering community engagement, accessibility, and the enrichment of cultural experiences.
As a prominent financial institution in Rochester, Think Bank recognizes the importance of supporting the local arts and cultural scene. This sponsorship aligns with Think Bank’s dedication to making cultural and educational opportunities accessible to everyone in the community.”We are thrilled to partner with Think Bank in making art and culture more accessible to our community. This sponsorship allows us to open our doors to a wider audience, encouraging more individuals and families to experience curiosity and growth through art,” said Pamela Hugdahl, Executive Director at Rochester Art Center.
Throughout the month of January, visitors to Rochester Art Center can explore diverse exhibits at no cost, including the group exhibition Chronicles of the Chronic, that celebrates the creativity and resilience of the chronically ill community, and Like a Little Tlaquepaque Vase or Como Jarrito de Tlaquepaque, that includes soft sculptures by Mexican artist Ivonne Yáñez. Also on view are Jane Powers: BioTerrains and Zumbro Bend: Three Desiring Bodies, featuring work by Pete Driessen. Another must-see at the museum in January is Anne Labovitz’s soaring three story installation in the atrium, Will to Meaning.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to attend weekly Drop-In Tours (Saturdays & Sundays at 1pm) and Open Studio (Fridays & Saturdays from 11am-2pm) with complimentary admission.
“We believe that art has the power to inspire, educate, and bring communities together. Think Bank’s sponsorship enables us to fulfill our mission by removing financial barriers and inviting everyone to enjoy the cultural richness within Rochester Art Center,” added Kalianne Morrison, Advancement Coordinator for the Rochester Art Center.
Rochester Art Center is known for offering the opportunity for all people to understand and value the arts through innovative experiences for over 75 years. This sponsorship by Think Bank further strengthens the Art Center’s ability to serve as a hub for creativity and cultural exchange in the Rochester community.
“We are proud to support the Rochester Art Center in their efforts to make art accessible to all. This partnership reflects our commitment to enriching the cultural fabric of Rochester and ensuring that everyone can benefit from the transformative power of the arts,” said Alaine Westra, Vice President of Community Impact at Think Bank.
