Memorial Art Gallery
The Memorial Art Gallery is located just outside of downtown Rochester, New York and very close to the city's Art Walk, which includes smaller galleries, restaurants, and Craft Company No. 6.
The Memorial Art Gallery has a permanent collection of over 12,000 objects, ranging from tapestries to furniture to sculpture and paintings. It was given in trust to the University of Rochester, and is both university-affiliated and community supported. The Gallery is open year-round, and in addition to the permanent collection, features temporary exhibits, classes, concerts, lectures, and family activities, including the yearly arts and crafts festival, the Clothesline Art Festival, which is held on the Gallery's grounds.
The Memorial Art Gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm, with Thursdays open until 9 pm. The Gallery is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and major holidays. Admission rates are as follows:
General Admission: $7.00
