Special thanks to the Rochester City Council for supporting First Friday in 2025 / 2026.

City of Rochester
First Friday is a monthly citywide gallery night that encourages collaboration between art venues in Rochester, NY. This initiative showcases area artists and smaller arts institutions by promoting the First Friday evening of each month from 6-9pm as a community night for experiencing art. First Friday ensures a healthy art scene and a healthy city through regular exchange between venues, artists and patrons.
First Friday Rochester was initiated, and is administered by Rochester Contemporary Art Center.
