Plan Your Visit

Bus stop #9 is right by MAG on the Regional Transit Service.

MAG is also a stop on the University of Rochester shuttle service. The UR shuttle service is free with a university ID.

MAG has free, on-site parking for guests and Creative Workshop students. Designated accessible parking spaces are available in Lots A, B, and D, marked on our parking map.

As we welcome growing audiences to MAG, and see higher attendance specifically during exhibition openings, special events, and on weekends, on-site parking may reach capacity. We encourage visitors to plan ahead and utilize nearby street parking or public parking areas in the surrounding Neighborhood of the Arts when our lots are full. MAG parking lots are first-come, first-served, and accessible parking can be found in multiple parking lot locations near our entrances. We recommend building this into your visit to ensure an easy, enjoyable visit. We look forward to welcoming you!
