We’re delighted to share Robin Flanigan’s 6x6 Pics this week. Freelance writer, book author, essayist, and self-proclaimed ‘hopeless optimist,’ Robin shared about her selections, and why she chose artwork that “took me to another place—whether figuratively or through concrete imagery.”
“What is best about Rochester? Its people. And thankfully, RoCo’s annual 6x6 offers a safe space for them to share inner worlds, push boundaries, and enthusiastically honor what matters most. Whether using their artwork to challenge or celebrate, this year’s contributors reflected the creativity and diversity that make our city so easy to be proud of. That pride is why I’ve written three books about Rochester, most recently “100 Things to Do in Rochester Before You Die” and the forthcoming “Secret Rochester: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure.” I’ve lived in five states and even more cities, and nowhere else have I found the kind of community we have here. It’s a kind of magic.”
Thanks Robin for sharing this eclectic curation with us! Stay connected to Robin at and https://www.thekineticpen.com/
