East Hill Gallery

Opening Weekend: May 9-10, 2026

Saturdays 11am–5pm & Sundays 1–5pm

East Hill Gallery, located at the Rochester Folk Art Guild, is open weekends May through October. It features handmade work from the Guild’s studios, including pottery, woodworking, weaving, and natural fiber clothing, along with a small selection by regional artists.

The work reflects a way of making tied to material, process, and long-term practice. Many pieces are one of a kind or produced in small batches, and are meant for everyday use.

The gallery is located on our rural campus, a short drive from Naples and the surrounding Finger Lakes region.

You’re also welcome to schedule a private appointment outside of regular hours.
