In 2019 and beyond, MAG hopes to welcome 500 Rochester residents a year, with a balance between repeat and new visitors.
MAG staff members work closely with community organizations to promote the program, identify participants, arrange the transportation and welcome them to the museum. Contact Delores Jackson Radney via mail. Questions? Call 585.276.8938.
