Mayor Warren pledges funding for bold new era of public art

Painters depict a young John Lewis in the mural I Am Speaking, at 49 State St. in downtown Rochester. The administration of Mayor Lovely Warren on Thursday unveiled plans to create a new “arts equity fund” aimed at ushering in “a bold new era of public art in Rochester.” The plan was announced during an unconventional State of the City address in which Warren did not deliver a speech, but rather released a short video and a 48-page booklet that outlined her vision for the city through a lens of “equity and recovery.” Her vision comes amid a pandemic that has decimated the bottom line for artists and arts organizations and a nationwide reckoning on matters of racial justice.
