New art from one of our favorite artists and longtime RIVAA member, Toshiko Kitano Groner, is the kind of news we like. We’ve covered her work for over a decade. She never disappoints.

The opening reception is Sunday, October 1, 2023, 5-8 PM at the Octagon, 888 Main Street.All are welcome. We hope to see you there.

The recording arrived before RIOC posted it. On this island, that usually means they’ll release it when they’re confident nobody still cares. ArchRI simply made a copy available, the way people here tend to do once they’ve stopped waiting for institutions to keep their word.
