Rochester Contemporary Art Center, 20266X6 Pics of the week.

We are tickled to introduce the Innerloop Blog and Podcast as this week's 6x6 Pics curators. Shane Allen and Mark Maira shared more about themselves and the curation: "At The Innerloop Blog, we’d love to say we carefully crafted a mission statement about “enriching the cultural landscape of Rochester,” but honestly, we just started making fun of the city and don’t know how to stop. It’s like we rubbed a Genny Light bottle and got cursed. If you look at our comment sections on Facebook or Instagram @innerloopblog, it appears our goal is mostly to confuse the oldest people in Western New York. Check out our award-winning podcast and info for our live comedy shows at www.innerloopblog.com. We align with the Rochester Contemporary Art Center in the sense that we’ve both spent years creating work that sparks dialogue in the community, and we’re both nonprofit organizations. To clarify, The Innerloop Blog would absolutely love to make a profit... We just haven’t quite figured out how yet." Be sure to check out the Innerloop Podcast (new episode every Tuesday) and stay up to date with Shane and Mark at https://innerloopblog.com/, on Instagram & Facebook @innerloopblog as they cover Rochester's latest news <3 Oh and support them on Patreon!

Artwork #60 "[SHANE ALLEN] I have a recurring dream where the HORSES ON PARADE statues outside local businesses come to life, and the Frederick Douglass statues have to round them up.
