The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts (RMFA) is an all-volunteer, community art initiative dedicated to the accessibility of contemporary works made by regionally, nationally, and internationally recognized artists. Founded in 2011, the RMFA works to enrich people’s lives through the presentation of fine art. The permanent collection and other rotating exhibitions are prominently displayed in the halls and Suite 135 of the James W. Foley Memorial Community Center and Rochester Public Library.
Galleries The permanent collection contains more than 200 donated, multidisciplinary works that represent a range of visual expression, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, photography, film, and more. The Mayor Harvey E. Bernier Room and Andrew Carnegie Gallery feature temporary art exhibits, made by emerging and seasoned artists. The Pixel Room showcases extraordinary and thought-provoking digital works on a 4K UHD LED display.
