"For nearly 15 years, the façade of The Rockwell Museum building has been home to a bison named “Artemus.” In 1999, Tom Gardner – a well-known artist – received a $5,000 grant from The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes in order to create a fiberglass sculpture for placement on the exterior of The Rockwell. Funding for the project was provided by The New York State Council on the Arts, which supported the design and fabrication of this whimsical creation — a bison bursting through the façade of the Museum building.

Artemus received his name through a community contest when the name was selected because of its similarity to the phrase “Art is a must.” As you drive by Artemus, make a stop at The Rockwell to see how true this statement is. "
