Who Are We?

Since 2008, the annual festival has already transformed four vacant buildings in Rochester through the participation of hundreds of local artists and musicians with over 1,500 average attendees. The 5th Annual ArtAwake will occur on 97 Railroad Street, attached to Rohrbach’s Brewery, on April 21st from 2pm to 12am.

ArtAwake is an annual student-organized festival of creativity that gives life to a vacant urban space in Rochester, NY.
