Centered on the Memorial Art Gallery, George Eastman House, and the Village Gate, the Neighborhood of the Arts is just north of the Park Ave Area, and is home to a lot of interesting people, and some nifty public art.
From some of the discussion about the area I've heard, it sounds like this neighborhood was 'bad off' in the 1970's and
Gentrified between then and now.
The best known feature of the Neighborhood of the Arts is
Rochester's Art Walk.
