Organization Information


Organization: Rochester Arts and Cultural Initiative (ACI)

Sector: Collective

Organization Mission: The Arts and Cultural Initiative is a newly formed corporation which has come forth from the Rochester Arts and Cultural Collaborative (RACC). The ACI is an offshoot of the Spaces Committee , of the RACC , which has consistently focused on meeting the space needs of the arts and cultural community of Rochester. The need for arts and cultural facilities is clear from numerous studies, surveys, and focus groups. Our vision is for a vibrant, multi - use facility which will serve both the arts community (of all types) and the diverse cultural communities of Rochester. There is a large pent up demand for reasonably priced space and we hope to fulfill it.

About Beam
  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
