The Mayor Harvey E. Bernier Room (at the Rochester Community Center, Suite 135) features temporary art exhibits by emerging and seasoned artists on a monthly basis. The gallery showcases a wide range of original work - from painting and sculpture to works on paper and photography. The gallery is named for former Rochester Mayor Harvey E. Bernier. For tirelessly supporting arts and cultural programming and volunteerism during his tenure.
We also offer digital shows featuring extraordinary and thought-provoking works on a large 4K UHD LED display. The purpose is to connect visitors to emerging trends occurring in international contemporary art. Visitors can view these presentations in the museum's suite during regular hours of operation.
