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.

The Dryden Theatre

The Dryden Theatre

The Dryden Theatre represents everything I love about Rochester. Located in the George Eastman House, it’s small, historic, beautiful and full of character. The Dryden Theatre is exhibit space for showing the museum’s vast motion picture collection. It provides all the typical movie theater amenities, including concessions (great popcorn!) and two levels of seating. Just $5 with student ID.

Glee

Glee

This comedy-drama-musical (a Co-dram-ical perhaps?) - introducing Rachel Berry, Jayma Mays and Matthew Morrison - is one of the most delightful surprises in recent prime-time television. It’s breath of fresh air in a reality show saturated world. Glee takes a hilarious look at high school through the struggles of the forgotten Glee Club members- all of whome are typically invisible- are suddenly visible and center stage. Although the storyline often results in spontaneous song and dance routines, this is no G-rated, Disney show. Glee has the dry-humor of The Office, captivating characters and Broadway-worthy performances. This is entertainment at its best.
