“None of us is as creative as all of us.” – Steve Jobs

At the Genesee Center for the Arts & Education, we believe in the power of creativity as we work to nurture it every day.

Have you been touched by creativity?  These people have:

"As you work with the clay, you re-learn valuable lessons in life: Keeping an open mind, willingness to learn, if you make a mistake (which does happen), start again! When you get a finished product, you get a wonderful sense of joy and accomplishment which feeds your spirit no matter what else is happening in your life." – Adult pottery student

"I have always applauded your efforts to bring photographic art and education to all people.  With this show you have really provided all who view it the absolutely best gallery experience yet in Rochester." – Gallery exhibit attendee

"At the end of the day, all we have is each other in an ever changing world.  You all truly exemplify the meaning of community." – Drop in visitor

"I learned many new things about myself from this project.  When I put my mind to it I could even be the best if I try." –Youth photo student

Through your support, over 1,000 people each year unlock their creativity through our classes and workshops in pottery, photography and book arts. 

Through your gift, hundreds of individual artists will have access to thousands of hours of open studio time each year.

With your help, community members can share in the creative work of others through exhibits and special events.

Explorers, Entrepreneurs. Educators. Esthetes. Everyone. 

Your support helps people of all ages and abilities have access to the creative community at the Genesee Center for the Arts & Education.

Please give your support today.

Creativity is shared by all through your generosity.

Thank you,
