Artisan Works


Artisan Works

By Katie Cummins

Recently, I’ve befriended a 90-year-old man named “Wild Bill.” During our Sunday afternoon chats, he always tells me about his family’s art gallery, Artisan Works. He says, “There’s nothing like it on planet Earth!” Plant Earth, eh? That is a pretty bold statement, so I thought I’d better check it out. Sure enough, Artisan Works is a jaw-dropping, head-spinning journey through 60,000 sq ft of art. The exhibit space is an old warehouse filled with every imaginable type of artwork, ranging from Wild Bill’s to Andy Warhol’s. The display is antiquarian in style, and quite exciting. However, some consider it busy and disrespectful in its representation. I thought it was a nice change from the traditional art galleries. With serving bars and pianos in every room (even rooftop space!) they offer the Rochester community opportunities to hold exclusive events in a unique space. Throw on your walking shoes, grab a friend and come see the most one-of-a-kind art exhibit on planet Earth.
