    About the Center
    Established in 1970, The Genesee Center for the Arts and Education is located in an historic firehouse, built in 1895-1905. We are the only community visual arts center located within the City of Rochester. In 1974, the Center incorporated as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit educational institution.
    The Genesee Center for the Arts & Education offers programs in all of our visual arts area: Community Darkroom, Genesee Pottery, and the Printing and Book Arts Center. We offer youth programs, classes and workshops, rent studio space to individuals and exhibit work in our galleries. Anyone may take classes, though you must be a member to use some of the facilities.
