Its a good place to visit with kids and teaching them about the art at different kinds .. everything looks good and kids were enjoyed.... even after a year .. they will remember the art center visit.. the will make bed time stories I believe.. Thank you...

Rochester Art Center is one of the amazing places in Rochester which depicts Arts, science go together. I love being at this place as a science enthusiast and an art lover, this place will always be a must visit one every week.

I really enjoy the Rochester art center. Ive played quite a few gigs there over the last several years and its a unique and pleasant room. The acoustics are surprisingly good considering all the concrete and glass.

Very amazing place to take a walk with the family and friends but some area was full of trashes scattered around.

We have gone here multiple times for wedding receptions and have always had a good experience. Never seen the artwork or been through that area so I cannot comment. There are good picture opportunities all around the architecture is very unique and its right along the river so you get a good sunset view and isnt it nice vibrant downtown area.

Art. Go. Enjoy.

I have been impressed with the last couple exhibition. The RAC is getting back on track. Great to see!!!

I used to love coming here when I was younger to do crafts, I don’t know if they still do that anymore. Overall it’s okay, has a very nice view!

I havent been there but Im sure it is a wonderful place.

Small exhibits but nicely done.

Avoid this place like the plague! Concessions are extremely overpriced and a canned sardine has more room!

Great open air free concerts.

Beautiful building. The current exhibit about mental health is fascinating

Beautiful place for friends wedding. Simple and gorgeous.

The entire experience was elegant and creative. It was our first time at an art exhibitions and we will definitely be returning.

The free family days that the Rochester Arts Center hosts are fun to attend. The ones we have gone to all involve an art project that all ages can participate in and enjoy. It also gives us the opportunity to check out the art on display and current exhibits. It is an easy way to have the family experience and talk about art.

Nice community space, under-developed

They had these cute little snow globes and it was FREE for all of my kids they liked it but went so fast and was super crowded but it was a cute project and the youngest enjoyed the chairs and the builsing blocks

This looks like a good place to hold event, the view is great. It is a great place for the 40 and up age category. I would hang my work here, but I dont have a degree, nor the great mind that the people that run this place seek. The artists that do show their work are overflowing with sophistication and wisdom. I would like to model my life after their great works. I cant understand the old masters, but the modern artists work displayed in the art center are truly revolutionary, take my word for it. An outstanding non profit.

I recently toured the art center. I found it disappointing due to the exhibit content. The building is beautiful, but found the experience to be unfortunate as I toured the entire three floors alone without employee interaction.

Great potential and new leadership will bring together a new life for this center. A city without appreciation for the arts is dead. Need more memberships. Saw Jack and the Beanstalk here years ago. Was terrific. Great sets good sound...better than the movies...attend a show.

We had our wedding reception here, and although there is some construction around the building, none of the beautiful views were obstructed. The staff at the Art Center made our wedding reception run so smoothly; they were wonderful to work with. The venue itself is gorgeous, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the river and a beautiful park. Our guests loved it!

The building itself was beautiful but the exhibits.... was not impressed. Now I know im not a master of the arts but I do know enough that a tea cup filled with string is not that. They literally had some sort of wrench as a display. Thats it. They had styrofoam cups that had been dipped in paint and glitter as a display as well as paint buckets standing and tipped over on the floor. Also a video of a faucet running close up then a close up of the drain. Then back to the faucet, water then turned blood red and it continued. Another video of styrofoam cups bouncing around lol it was almost funny. I thought we were being pranked but those were honestly the two main exhibits. It was amusingly terrible. Not even worth the $5.

Went to the Chris Cloud exhibit. Very entertaining, photographs depicting a day in the life of Mayor Brede. I recommend going. The art center is very modern and inviting and easy to access from the parking ramps and walk over bridges downtown. Very handy in our frigid winters.

We took our Cub Scouts here for the free Art Day program. The kids had a fun time, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The art exhibits themselves were more geared towards adult and seemed a little boring for the kids. I think they could fit about triple the art in the same space if it was used better. Id like to see one of the major areas overhauled to be more a kid and family section.

Beautiful space - could bring in more diversity of exhibits. Turning more into an event spade than a gallery and art center. Hope it doesnt continue that way! Theres a lot of potential.

Hot nerdy girls playing Pokemon Go. Im going back again today.

Not a large offering but it emphasizes local artists and community participation in the arts. Inspirational eye candy! Worth the time!

Awesome experience. The art is very interesting and I cant wait for the upcoming event!

Went to their genetics display. Lots of great information but small for what I expected from an arts center.

Its a great place for a quick visit, especially now that they are getting really cool exhibits. They have art classes and summer camps as well.

Amazing venue for a party.

Beautiful place!

The art center does a great job of bringing the non-traditional arts to Rochester. The exhibited rotate about every 3 months. They offer classes and events to promote the arts. The one downside is that they do not have space for a collection of pieces.

Lovely space with cool area for events. Well curated and lovely staff.

Great place and staff. I went to a wedding there and it was excellent.

We had a fun day in Rochester and the Art museum was a affordable way to see some local exhibits.

Very informative! Even a university biology can learn something new!

Beautiful celebration and facility for it well.

I attended an event at the Rochester art center the other week and have been mulling over a rating based on my experience with an employee. Now if I were to rate my experience based on the beautiful building alone I would give five stars. I didnt think I was even going to rate it at all until I read that other reviewers had similar issueses. Im writing a letter to the board. When I asked where all the art was I was made to feel like I said something offensive. I was treated quite poorly.

An amazing space with engaging rotating exhibits. RAC adds an essential component to this city that hosts millions of travelers and an the diverse community that lives and works in Rochester.

Reminiscent of the Walker Art Center.

The art center lacks a decent selection of impressive art. The art that is displayed doesnt get changed too often.

Beautiful walk through. Not a whole lot of art though wish there was more to look at

Its pretty cool to host events at

I have attended a copy of events here, and theyre always beautiful. The art selection is hit or miss, but definitely worth the trip.

Interesting exhibits now and then.

Beautiful wedding venue! Highly recommend!

Nice exhibit, family friendly.

Fun times

Disappointing. Permanent collection not on display. Very little to view.

This place is beautiful! It can be difficult to access due to construction, but I cant fault the Art Center for that.

Excellent

Very interesting

Empty gallery

The exhibits were dull

Lovely facility.

Huge.. spacious

Nice place

Needs more art in the collection. Seems sparce.
