SUMMARY:3 New Exhibitions Open at RoCo!
DESCRIPTION:3 New Exhibitions Open at RoCo! \nOpening Reception: Friday\, August 28\, 6-9pmOn View: August 28 - September 19\, 2026\nMain Gallery = "Fire and Form" is a juried exhibition celebrating the depth\, diversity\, and innovation of encaustic and wax-based artists working across New York State. Hosted in Rochester\, a city with a strong tradition of experimental modernism and material exploration\, this exhibition highlights the luminous\, layered\, and enduring qualities of wax as a contemporary medium. Presented in partnership with the Working with Wax Roc/Flx group. \nLAB Space = "Detour"\, a new solo exhibition by Aaron Steffer\, focuses his long-standing exploration of urban materials and graffiti language in a mesmerizing series of artworks. Rooted in a childhood shaped by skateboarding\, painting street art\, and navigating Rochester's industrial and abandoned spaces\, the exhibition is built upon the city itself.\nMedia Room = "Still\, Moving: A Firefly Meditation" is an immersive light installation by Katharine Torgersen and inspired by summer evenings spent observing fireflies. Through illuminated painted-glass sculptures and field recordings\, the exhibition transforms the space into a contemplative environment that invites visitors to slow down and reconnect with themselves and the natural world. The work explores stillness not as stagnation\, but as a space for reflection\, healing\, and renewal.\nOpen: Wed-Sun 12-5pm / Fri 12-9pm$2 / Free For RoCo Members \nLearn more about these exhibitions at http://www.rochestercontemporary.org/current/\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRochester Contemporary Art Center137 EastAveRochester\, NY 14604info@rochestercontemporary.orgWed-Sun 12-5pm / Fri 12-9pm$2 / Free For RoCo Members www.rochestercontemporary.org/current
