Sector 4 Art - Rochester, New York

(Rochester, New York - September 16, 2007)

Art West (artists working in Sector 4 around Genesee Street) caught my attention as they spruced up utility boxes in Southwest Rochester..

I stopped and talked to Athesia Benjamin and Yolanda Daliz and took photos of them in action.

Update September 23, 2007: I drove around and took photos of most of the artwork. I have a few more to get and will include them as soon as I can.

Update September 24, 2007: I may or may not have them all. There is supposed to be 15 (I have 14). I have the map. I'm stopping on my way home to look for the mysterious last one.

Update September 25, 2007: I believe this is the full set. The map shows 15, but one of those places on Genesee Street is just a blank traffic signal box.
