We took the jewelry-making class and walked away with two rings for each of us. They're beautiful! The teacher was patient and talented. He had one of his portfolios available for review and WOW! SO impressed! We want to head back for another date night in the next few months and try out one of their other date night options. You should too!

They obviously have a passion for glass and were very good at teaching it to the rest of us. We each got to design two bowls and we will pick them up in about three week. It was a nice change to other activities we do and we will definitely take another class!

All the art in this display is created by immigrants living in the Rochester community. They are from various countries. They share their culture and hardships, and this is reflected in their art. Some of it is very heartbreaking. But then so is what immigrants are facing in our political climate of 2026. This display will be up until November 14, 2026. Admission to the small museum is only $2. The staff there was happy to chat with us. Very welcoming. I highly recommend this art museum.

The staff was wonderful and you can tell they took pride and loved the arts. They have many activities on a rotating basis where you can stay in the know by signing up for their emails. I was in town for a short visit but would definitely make an effort to visit if I'm back in the area.

Rochester is an immensely creative city and this is the place to come to hear about unique and innovative projects and stories people share. This year, the conference took place at East High. It was fitting that the learning would take place in a school. It was inspiring to be back in a high school to learn after nearly 10 years since I stepped foot inside the school I graduated from. If anyone has an skepticism about Rochester's future growth, I recommend you sign up for TEDx next year. Your outlook will change and will inspire you to get involved anyway you can. The purpose of these TEDx talks is to shed light on aspects of our community that deserve some extra love or recognition. It's amazing to see people connect and discover the opportunities they now have after meeting just one person that can help take their project one step further. One thing that made this year awesome is that the event took place on a Saturday so you didn't have to take a vacation day! I hope they continue that trend for future years.

We had a great time at TedxRochester…read more The talks were all engaging. I genuinely felt that each of them were worthwhile and thought-provoking. The venders were all informative. The last-minute change of venue to East High School proved to be great. The space was perfect for us. We are looking forward to returning next year. My only critique was that we were frustrated with the timeline execution. We were happy to have time to network and mingle, but it could have been done much better. We arrived a little early but found that the "start" time was quite a while before the program start time. I'm forgetting now exactly how long - - but I think it was 90 minutes. And after that, we also had a very, very long lunch (2 hours maybe?). And after all the unexpected downtime, the program ran late. We ended up feeling very rude and ducking out during the last speaker because our ride had been waiting in the parking lot so long. But again, other than the timeline, it was a wonderful event. Thinking about contacting them to volunteer next year!

It's in a converted church. I'm thinking it seats maybe 60-70 people you can see the old bones of the church. It's got a lot of potential for different staging of plays, a comedy review, a band and etc. We went to see The Vagina Monologues and it was excellent. They have a parking lot across the way which is a plus.

This space is a repurposed church with both pew and theatrical style seating. They have monitors in the backstage area, a modest spot for companies to sell their own concessions, and a near constant lineup of programming from the many theatre artists around town.

Great place to stop in while in Pittsford!…read more Most items are made of clay and created by local artists. They have some international pieces that are beautiful as well. If you aren't looking for clay, you'll find jewelry items and knick knacks as well! Everything is reasonably priced. And great strong quality. If you make a purchase, try to find things around the store marked free! They have different things each day. Many of them are just small trinkets but they're cute as can be! My last few trips fell during their seconds sale. Basically, starting the second Saturday of the second month (Feb), a ton of local products are on sale for more than 50% off. The sale lasts for about a month and the items get restocked regularly. If you sign up for their VIP texting program, you can get coupons and additional discounts as well! Such a cute place! Right next to simply crepes!

Only one problem-- if someone like me buys the same stuff you like, you will have to wait until the artist brings in more.
