View our exhibition calendar which highlights local and regional artists in solo shows and group invitationals, in addition to annual national juried exhibitions and check out an archive of our exhibition history since we opened in 2013.
Our art resource library houses a collection of over 1,500 books and ranges from historical to contemporary and collectively illuminates the impact of the arts on culture, society, and the human experience.
In addition to visual arts, Main Street Arts also focuses on literary arts and literacy through our bookstore, Sulfur Books. You’ll find new and used books for all ages—adults, young adults, middle readers, and children.
Main Street Arts offers opportunities for artists in invitational thematic or media-specific exhibitions throughout the year.
Our open call for work, a general submission for us to consider your work, is also reviewed twice per year for consideration in upcoming exhibitions. Artists also have opportunities to teach workshops or take part in community events.
In addition to artist opportunities, we also have various opportunities for volunteers to help cultivate a creative community through Main Street Arts!
Main Street Arts is a nonprofit arts organization and art gallery specializing in showcasing contemporary art and fine craft from emerging and established Upstate New York artists.

Join us on Facebook Live for an online artist talk with the artists included in Storm. Tune in to learn more about the artists, their motivations for making artwork, and why they find inspiration in storms.
Storm is a group invitational exhibition highlighting the work of nine artists working in painting, drawing, collage, ceramics, digital, and fiber works. In the eye of the storm we seek shelter and endure; from a distance we see the beauty and mystery. This collection of artwork is a contemplation on violent disturbances of the atmosphere and the fascination we have with nature’s awe inspiring power.
This exhibition is made possible in part by the Rochester Area Community Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
