Free International Call for Art – 6×6

Rochester Contemporary Art Center

Jun. 1, 2026, 12:00 am

137 East Ave, Rochester, New York, United States

Each summer Rochester Contemporary Art Center’s 6×6 exhibition brings together thousands of original artworks, made and donated by celebrities, international & local artists, designers, youth and YOU. Each artist may enter up to four artworks of any medium except glitter (2D or 3D). Artworks must be six inches square (15cm) and signed only on the back, to be exhibited anonymously. Participation is free.

All artworks will be exhibited and for sale to the public for $20 each to benefit RoCo. Artists’ names will be revealed to the buyer upon purchase and all artworks remain on display through the end of the exhibition in July. Limit four artworks per school or school group (no limit for colleges).

Optional Theme: The City of Rochester Logo
This year, artists may choose to create a 6×6 featuring the City of Rochester’s logo. These “Flower City” artworks will be installed together on a dedicated wall as part of a community-wide celebration of this iconic graphic. This theme is entirely optional—as always, all 6×6 artworks will be accepted and displayed regardless of theme.

– NEW: The first 6000 artworks received will be exhibited in Gallery & Online. 6000+ will be exhibited online only. Send your art early to ensure in-gallery & online display.

– Artwork entry is FREE
