- Imagine pictures 10 stories tall—art—hanging from downtown buildings, as if Rochester were one large gallery! Imagine a 100 feet wide photo of cute puppies greeting visitors arriving on Amtrak. Public art has always held a civic function, bringing neighbors, visitors, strangers, and movers & shakers together. Rochester could be a better place to work, visit, and live. - - As proof of concept, Big Picture Rochester installed a 40 x 60 feet photomosaic in September 2006. Composed digitally from 14280 image tiles submitted by hundreds of photograhers from throughout the region, it draws on a jury-winning photograph “Flying Kids”, taken by Joseph Pratt, a student at Charlotte Middle School and participant in the after-school photography club at Charles Settlement House. Launched via winning a $15593 Culture Builds Communities grant through the ["Arts & Cultural Council"], ["City of Rochester"], and ["Citibank"], the project recruited fiscal partner ["Rochester Downtown Development Corporation"] and additional support of $9000 from ["SUNY Brockport"], the City, and ["Lamar Outdoor Advertising"]. - - Barred from using the original name without chartering through the Regents of the State of New York, Big Picture Rochester incorporated as a New York non-for-profit summer 2006. The vision remains to transform downtown by hanging wallscapes on entire buildings, their sides draped with enormous enlargements of photographs solicited from international contests and local talent. Still in development, this project has tremendous potential to reinvigorate Rochester, attracting international attention with a display worthy of our city's nick name: the Image Center. If you would also like to see this vision become reality, join and help fulfill this mission. - - * [http://OutdoorMuseum.com/ Outdoor Museum] (for now; will soon transition to [http://BigPictureRochester.com Big Picture Rochester]) - * [http://OutdoorMuseum.tribe.net/ volunteer and interest group] - * [http://democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051114/NEWS01/511140336 Democrat & Chronicle: “Visionary sees art gallery on downtown walls” (2005 Nov 14)] - - [[Comments]] - ------ - ''2005-11-23 08:59:15'' [[nbsp]] This is a wonderful idea! --["MariahBetz"] - ------ - ''2006-11-09 21:55:51'' [[nbsp]] The first picture is pretty cool! --["ScottHendler"]	+ #redirect Big Picture Rochester
