Integrating Life Fragments

A Music & Arts Workshop for Adults

Rochester Contemporary School of Music invites you to participate in a facilitated workshop for musicians and artists desiring to push their boundaries and expand their experience by working side by side with the two art forms. Participants will bring and share specific materials and sound fragments with personal meaning from which a new original work will be created in just one day.

Writers - Call for Entries

Call for submissions

to Landmarks magazine

The latest issue of our print magazine, Landmarks, featured the launch of a new column that we’re organizing in conjunction with Writers & Books. The column is called “Writers & Landmarks: Personal and Pithy” and we’re looking for submissions from YOU.

The guidelines are simple:

- Contributions should be approximately 500 words.
- Essays should relate a personal memory or reflection on an example of the built environment in Rochester and the Western New York communities served by The Landmark Society.
- The essay should stress what the site has meant to the individual and his/her community. - Essays can be written in the first person and tell a personal memory of a place. Or, the writer may choose to tell the story of a place and what this place has meant to a community (and community can be a neighborhood, group, town, city, etc).

Contact Larry Francer, Associate Director of Preservation at The Landmark Society for more information:

Peter's Picks
One of the popular features of our exhibits is "Peter's Picks". For most of our shows, Peter Marr, local photographer and oft judge of photography competitions, makes selections of his favorite photographs exhibited by the featured and guest photographers. We are pleased that the next show will be a selection of Peter's and Gallery picks from our shows in 2011, a retrospection of some of the favorite work from the 13 exhibits of that year. We are pleased that Peter will also exhibit his specialty - exceptional bird photography. 36 photographers answered the call to return with their selected photographs for this retrospective.
