Mission
ROCHESTER ART CENTER OFFERS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND VALUE THE ARTS THROUGH INNOVATIVE EXPERIENCES WITH CONTEMPORARY ART. THROUGH WORLD-CLASS EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS, WE PRESENT A WELCOMING, INTEGRATED, AND DIVERSE EXPERIENCE THAT ENCOURAGES QUESTIONING, CREATIVITY, AND CRITICAL THINKING. THESE EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO REFLECT THE DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ART AND SOCIETY. THEY EDUCATE, CHALLENGE, AND CONNECT INDIVIDUALS TO OUR WORLD IN COMPELLING NEW WAYS. WE ARE COMMITTED TO BEING A CULTURAL CENTER IN OUR COMMUNITY AND TO ENHANCING OUR REGION AS A DESTINATION FOR CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION. WE PROVIDE VALUE THROUGH ENGAGEMENT WITH BROAD COMMUNITIES, STRONG COLLABORATIONS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, AND A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE.
