In 2018 our beloved building Old City Hall turns 125, holding in its walls a long history as a community center. That’s why we’re inviting artists and performers from the greater Corning community to use an empty gallery as their laboratory and creative gathering place April 27 – May 12, 2018.

At the heart of this pop-up gallery is a challenge – how can an artist present their vision with only bare bones staging? The Rockwell provides the space and limited equipment – the artist brings the space to life. Giant tube looms, poetry readings, modern dance collaborations, live music and more make this year’s Bare Bones Café an event series you cannot miss.

Bare Bones Café is an experience included with regular admission prices and open to any visitors of the Museum. Refreshments will be available to guests as part of the experience.
