18th century Moroccan embroidery
|
Illustrating the continuation of a tradition dating back to the 5th century B.C., this exhibition includes a 17th century Chinese cushion cover, a 19th century Turkish prayer rug, an 18th century Moroccan embroidery, and carpets from the 19th century—along with modern carpets made in the old traditions with the very best dyes and weaving techniques. The exhibit features exquisite hand-woven carpets from several internationally recognized personal collections in the greater Rochester region. To learn more, visit www.orientalrugmart.com.

Regional Cultural Strategy
The Arts & Cultural Council for Greater Rochester is pleased to present this Regional Cultural Strategy, the result of a year-long planning process for arts and culture in the greater Rochester area, developed with the partnership and support of the Mary S. Mulligan Charitable Trust, Mayor Robert J. Duffy and Rochester City Council, Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks and the County of Monroe Industrial Development Agency (COMIDA), the National Endowment for the Arts, and the New York State Council on the Arts.
The Regional Cultural Strategy is a roadmap for the cultural sector to leverage its strengths and increase its already sizable impact on our region, while focusing on sustaining and growing our region’s cultural industry. |

Not By Invitation Only:
Building Diversity in Arts Programming and Audiences
In 2007 the Arts & Cultural Council engaged in a Regional Cultural Diversity Needs Assessment as part of a long-term planning process. The final report summarizes the results and recommendations from the year-long process. The Needs Assessment, along with the Council's economic impact study, will serve as major inputs to the development of a Regional Cultural Strategy in the coming years.
