The Rockwell Museum believes in building our community through partnerships and collaboration. That’s why we’re so pleased to partner with the Wineglass Marathon once again this year!

In 2017, runners and their families will have four awesome opportunities to experience The Rockwell. Happy training, and we’ll see you at the end of the month!

    In September, our art partners in Downtown Corning kick off the new season of Urban Arts Crawl – an art-centric celebration of the unique and diverse art scene in our humble little town.  As a self-guided final Friday of each month, The Crawl includes stops at internationally acclaimed museums and independent galleries alike. Artist talks and demonstrations, modern dance performances, live music and more make The Crawl a truly unique and entertaining experience. Plan to spend your evening on Historic Market Street with various social opportunities at local bars and restaurants post-crawl. Oh, and it’s free!
