Welcome to the Rochester Art Club

The Rochester Art Club (RAC) was founded in 1877 and is one of the oldest continuously active art groups in the United States. RAC has a studio at Railroad Street Artworks, 3 Railroad Street, Suite G, Fairport, NY 14450. Members participate in workshops, exhibitions, and special members’ events that are scheduled year-round.

​

Throughout the years, members have included people of all backgrounds with the common interest in art. Many notable artists and patrons have been part of the Rochester Art Club, and members’ works can be found in private collections and public institutions, locally and nationally.

RAC  Is Moving!

  • We are moving the RAC studio to Village Gate (VG) on August 15th.

  • We’ll need some help setting up the new studio space.Yes, we'll be looking for volunteers to help with the move. 

  • We could use some shelving racks if anyone has some extras.

  • Once we get settled, we'll have a  "Studio Warming” celebration to introduce you to our new space

​

More information will be coming on the move, the need for volunteers, and on the Studio Warming. The website will be updated as information becomes available!
