Around our school
All about it
The
Village Gate is an old factory complex, owned by Stern Properties, which was converted a
pseudo-urban-mall-like area in 1981. It had previously been home to Stecher-Truang
Lithographic one of the world's largest lithographic plants.
What’s inside?
The Village Gate has a variety of things to do inside. It
has independent shops, Restaurants, salons, offices and some residents who live
in the lofts. It’s located in the Neighborhood of the Arts. It has a graffiti
wall that is legalized so people could write on it. Commercial businesses are
on the ground floor, which opens to a very pleasant courtyard. Some spots up
and downstairs are good for art installations and weddings, special events,
parties, etc. It’s known for its wonderful art pieces and projects such as
sculptures and paintings. The good thing is that it’s right down the street
from SOTA. The village gate is a big brown building with apartment’s lofts and
etc. I provides inside 277, 302, 316, 320 Goodman Avenue and 176 Anderson
Avenue. Across from the memorial art gallery. Most of these apartments are
really shops such as restaurants and salons.
Village Gate
Square in Rochester boasts all of these things and more. An art community more
than a mall really, Village Gate plays host to small specialty shops (jewelry,
antique, book and collectable stores), art galleries, designers, professional
artists, marketing firms, computer companies, restaurants and bars and even
loft space. Every inch of the converted warehouse space is filled with color
and imagination. You could lose yourself for an entire afternoon just wandering
around the atrium.
Neighborhood of the arts
Village Gate Square is part of
Rochester’s Neighborhood of the Arts (NOTA) program and is located within a
very short walking distance of other art community staples of the area like The
Memorial Art Gallery, The George Eastman House and the International Museum of Photography.
We put it at the top of our list of cool places in Upstate to spend an
afternoon.
School kids at village gate
Some people from School of the Arts go there to spend
time and hang with friends. Some more kids prefer to go there to the
restaurants to eat. Also, since our school is a school with a variety of arts
than the sculptures and paintings are good for the art majors and creative
writing majors. You can write article stories etc., about what you like in it.
