ESL Federal Credit Union Named the Official Presenting Sponsor of the 2025 Corn Hill Arts Festival
The Corn Hill Neighbors Association is proud to announce that ESL Federal Credit Union will serve as the presenting sponsor for the 2025 Corn Hill Arts Festival, set to take place on July 12th and 13th. This continued partnership highlights ESL’s deep commitment to the arts, local culture, and fostering a vibrant community in the historic Corn Hill neighborhood.
“Our collaboration with ESL Federal Credit Union plays a vital role in making the festival a success,” said Andie Kopf, 2025 Corn Hill Festival Chair. “ESL is more than a sponsor, they are an essential part of the festival experience. From their welcoming hospitality tent at Lunsford Circle to the Kindness Crew oering water and snacks to festivalgoers, their presence adds an extra layer of warmth and generosity. Their unwavering support truly embodies the community spirit that makes this event so special.”
Beyond nancial support, ESL Federal Credit Union shares a vision of bringing people together through meaningful experiences.
“We’re thrilled to again be the presenting sponsor for this year’s Corn Hill Arts Festival,” said Rich Pulvino, vice president/director, marketing, ESL Federal Credit Union. “Each year the Corn Hill Neighborhood Association and their volunteers help to bring people together, inspire creativity, and celebrate the arts in this treasured, storied neighborhood in Rochester. We welcome you to join us to take in the history of the Corn Hill Neighborhood, and support the more than 350 artists and vendors in attendance.”
This year’s Corn Hill Arts Festival will feature an exciting array of experiences, including an expanded musical lineup, over 350 juried artists, a diverse selection of food vendors, the beer and wine garden, and beloved returning events such as the 15th Annual Emerging Artist Expo, the Fairy Houses Showcase, and the Sunday morning 5K Run.
“Community engagement is at the heart of everything we do at Corn Hill, and the festival is a perfect example of how people come together to create something truly special,” emphasized Kopf. “Our volunteers are the driving force behind this event, and we are dedicated to expanding our volunteer team to enhance the overall festival experience. If you’re looking for a meaningful
and enjoyable way to contribute, we invite you to join us in bringing this incredible tradition to life.”
