"Peripheral Of: The Periphery" is one of four current exhibitions that showcase the culminating works by the most recent rounds of artists in residence at Flower City Arts Center. On view at the center's Firehouse Gallery are works by the 2016 ceramics residents, Ryana Lawson, who is from Rochester, and Marval A. Rex, who is moving to California and will enter a fine arts graduate program at the University of Southern California in the fall of 2018.

Axom Gallery has been temporarily transformed from a white walls art gallery into a supremely fun, impossibly chic series of staged living and working spaces. A beloved local creative couple — painter St. Monci and Hannah Betts of design studio Lives Styled — have taken over the room, filling it with their art and carefully arranged furniture that is sold through Axom Objects.

I first viewed images from Lucinda Devlin's daunting photographic series, "The Omega Suites," in 2012, when the work was displayed at SUNY Brockport's Tower Gallery. The photographs — sobering, meditative looks into execution chambers and other spaces where the condemned spend their final hours — have always stuck with me. Devlin's work is being shown in Rochester once more, and this time selections from "The Omega Suites" are exhibited alongside pieces from two of her other series in the Eastman Museum's Project Gallery.

Rose Liu, an RIT student and photographer and video artist, in early May issued a challenge to local art institutions when she posted fliers on the front doors of museums and galleries that asked, "Do you feature as many female artists as you do male?" She also posted pictures of the fliers on social media and tagged the institutions.

If you were out and about last weekend, you might have
noticed Donald Trump on his knees, wearing bondage gear and a ball-gag, leaning
against various city street signs. The risqué image is a project by Rochester-based
street artist Ax, who is known for adorning walls with stenciled political and
social commentary.
