Exhibition

Rochester Artech 2009's exhibition will begin on April 17, 2009 at ArtAwake, a festival of art and music, at 4 Pixley Industrial Pkwy in Gates.

"ArtAwake is a one day art and music festival that occurs annually in an underused urban space in Rochester, NY."

Organized by the University of Rochester Urban Exploring Club - a club dedicated to exploring abandoned spaces in New York State - ArtAwake is a convergence of many artistic forms rolled into a single evening.

The second annual ArtAwake will take place at an unused warehouse at 4 Pixley Industrial Pkwy in Gates on Friday, April 17th, 2009 starting at 5pm and running into the early hours of the morning. For this exciting one day event, the warehouse will be converted into a thrilling music performance hall and art gallery.

Over the course of the evening, attendees will be able to connect with each other by admiring the gallery of local art while absorbing the sounds of a diverse selection of music and performance from the community. Refreshments will be available from local restaurants and cafés.
