ArtiStage

As part of the Rochester Arts Council’s celebration of the local Arts known as ARTigras, there will be a wonderfully eclectic selection of artists performing on what will be known as the ARTiStage.

Located in the Amphitheater of Mayo Park, behind the Mayo Civic Center, this segment of ARTigras kicks off at noon and lasts until 7:00 pm. Come prepared to be entertained by talented  local performers ranging from singer-songwriters to dancers, story-tellers, original improv comedy, classical musicians, comedians and even a magician.   Your hosts for ARTiStage are Bob Sanborn and Debi Neville.  Attendance is free and patrons will have every opportunity to meet the artists and purchase CDs and other types of work.
