7 pm Thursdays @ MAG / free
Rochester is a city of excellence, and awesomeness runs deep here. “Hidden Passions” celebrates the private hobbies and creative lives of Rochesterians and puts them center stage at the Memorial Art Gallery. The world-class musician who restores antique cars; the masseuse by day and gourmet ice cream entrepreneur by night; the postal service worker whose “other thing” is artisanal sausage making. Rochester is a city of innovation in ways you never imagined.
Come see what inspires your neighbors. Be amazed! Be moved by their hyphenated lives and liberate the creative promise inside YOU. Stay tuned for Season2, beginning September 17, 2015.
While you’re here, take advantage of MAG’s extended Thursday evening hours. Admission to the museum is half price from 5 to 9 pm, and Max at the Gallery serves tapas, beer and wine for purchase from 5 to 8 pm.
