With the support and sponsorship of Rochester Art Supply I am happy to announce a call for artist to the West Main Walls Art exhibition, August 25th 2012 in downtown Rochester, NY. As this part of the city starts to be rebuild, the aim is to revive the Rochester Art Supply’s courtyard and raise attention to the historic district, which is close to the Power’s building and Susan B. Anthony house

There will be a $250 gift card prize for the Peoples’ Choice award during the event and every accepted artist will get 10% off their purchases from Rochester Art Supply until the event.
