Gallery R

I had no idea this space existed until a couple weeks ago. It’s an art gallery off Goodman near Village Gate that features work from RIT art students. It’s amazing what hidden gems are tucked away in Rochester. I would have never known about this side street gallery had it not been for the invite I received to an event there.
It’s a great venue for a cocktail party — there are two rooms and could comfortably fit at least 50 people. There’s a projection screen too if need be.
If not for a party, you’re welcome to visit the gallery during open hours. There was some impressive work displayed when I visited. What a great opportunity for the RIT students to be able to feature their hard work to the local community in the Neighborhood of the Arts.
Parking can be a challenge if you don’t land a spot on the College Ave. Village Gate parking lot is the next best spot, but you’ll have to walk a bit to get there.

I’m not sure what their regular offerings are but this place is located across the street from the Memorial Art Gallery and down the block from Village Gate. The next time I’m in the neighborhood it would be worth the short walk to see what they are showing. I attended a Rochester Print Club annual event, the space was spacious enough, two rooms, they welcomed our byo-​aps and seating set up for guest presentation.
