The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts is a community art initiative dedicated to the accessibility of contemporary works made by regionally, nationally, and internationally recognized artists. Founded in 2011, the museum works to enrich people’s lives through the presentation of fine art. The museum is located in the Rochester Community Center and Rochester Public Library.

The historic Andrew Carnegie Gallery (at the Rochester Public Library) and Mayor Harvey E. Bernier Room (at the Rochester Community Center) feature temporary art exhibits by emerging and seasoned artists, on an alternating monthly basis. The galleries showcase a wide range of original work - from painting and sculpture to works on paper and photography.

Our independent film screenings, held in the historic Rochester Opera House, are designed to bring people together in a relaxed environment through the love of film. ​The series features provocative documentaries, comedies, gripping dramas, animation, and genre standouts.

The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts is a nonprofit organization through a partnership with Rochester Main Street. The museum has no paid staff and is operated entirely by volunteers. Consider volunteering or becoming a Friend of the Museum to support this cause.
