Opening Reception of Anne Havens / Sue Havens
Rochester Contemporary Art Center
137 East Ave.
Mar 6, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Join us for the Opening Reception of “Anne Havens / Sue Havens,” an exhibition that brings together two distinct and accomplished artistic practices. Featuring a selection of works drawn from different periods and media, the exhibition honors each artist’s work on its own terms while placing them in thoughtful proximity for the first time at RoCo.

Anne Havens, a Rochester-based multidisciplinary artist, presents work shaped by decades of intuitive, material-driven exploration. Working fluidly across sculpture, printmaking, drawing, ceramics, photography, and artist’s books, Havens’s practice reflects a sustained curiosity about process, metaphor, and the quiet poetry of objects. Her work often balances playfulness and introspection, inviting viewers into rich encounters where lived experiences and personal metaphors open onto shared human concerns.

Sue Havens, based in Florida, presents work from a practice rooted in painting and expanded across sculpture, printmaking, and ceramics. Her work is marked by a playful irreverence toward objects and a rigorous engagement with form, surface, and color, balancing structure with chance and physical process. Exhibited widely in national and international contexts, Havens’s practice reflects conceptual precision alongside a sustained commitment to material experimentation across disciplines.

“Anne Havens / Sue Havens” will open in our main gallery alongside two other shows at RoCo. Join us for a fun night, meet the artists, and enjoy refreshments. Learn more about this exhibition here.
