   We met at Makers Gallery and Studio for two reasons: 

   First, it's a great space to pick up some art, but also because we asked the proprietor, Alex Gruttadaro to discuss his curatorial philosophy as a commercial gallery. With over thirty people in attendance, our round table format morphed into a larger collectors circle!

   Here's how the evening went:

• ​6:30 ~ 7:00 pm people gathered and became acquainted.
• 7:00 pm Rochester Art Collectors co-organizer, Sarah Webb gave a brief overview.
• From 7:00 pm until 7:30 pm we went around the circle. Everyone introduced themselves, briefly discussed their background and interests. In addition, many of the participants presented small works of art to the group from their personal collection.
• At 7:30 pm, Alex Gruttadaro & his Makers Gallery partner, Zach Edwards, shared some background about Makers and their philosophy as gallerists.
• The event ended promptly at 8:00 pm, although most people lingered afterwards continuing conversations over coffee and cookies.
