Opening Reception of Curfew
Rochester Contemporary Art Center
137 East Ave.
Oct 3, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Join us for the Opening Reception of Curfew! Curfew brings together new and recent work by Rochester-based artists SALUT (Bradd Young) and Flour Pail Kids (Scar Markham), two keen cultural observers who draw inspiration from the city of Rochester after dark. Moving through neighborhoods, corners, parking lots, bodegas, and empty streets, they document the small, strange, beautiful, and sometimes brutal details that often go unseen. Working from lived experience, memory, and imagination, both artists balance observation and exaggeration to share night-time narratives that speak volumes about community, identity, and visibility. The exhibition’s title speaks to both the literal restrictions historically placed on movement in Rochester, and the broader social forces that continue to determine who is allowed to be outside (how and at what time) and who is not.

Join us on First Friday to see the exhibition, meet the artists, and share refreshments. See you there!
