Urban Renewal
The Urban Exploring student club sponsored ArtAwake, an art and music project, in March as an effort to introduce the public to one of Rochester’s urban renewal projects. The event was held at Station 55, a circa-1900 building near the city’s Public Market, and drew more than 1,500 attendees. Club members say the event was designed to start a conversation about how other unused or abandoned buildings in Rochester can be better utilized.
