A Life in Art Roosevelt Island News

Starting Thursday, December 7th, you can take home some great art from our local artists at Gallery RIVAA, 527 Main Street. Affordable Art lasts just four days but brings a chance to win art as well as loosen up your purse strings for it.

The Roosevelt Island Daily News

Affordable Art is, for art lovers, a chance to own original, one-of-a-kind artwork, and from artists who are neighbors that need the help.

A wide variety of works, bargain-priced and ready to take home, will be spread around the gallery from Thursday through Sunday. Wonderful for you, but also a holiday gift that can’t be duplicated.

As a special bonus, RIVAA is also offering raffle tickets to anyone who stops by, and wait until you see what you can win.

Great Art for Free

Ana-Maria Daranga – watercolor – View from Montmartre Paris – 17″x13″

And from Roosevelt Island’s favorite pastelist…

Georgette Sinclair – pastel – From Canadian Rockies – 4.5″x7″

Tony Vita’s artworks seem like Giorgio de Chirico, Yves Tanguy, Marvel Comics, Salvatore Dali and something from science fiction assembled in a glorious mix.

Tony Vita – digital – La Femme au Parasol Rêve

From our favorite colorist, Toshiko Kitano Groner – oil on canvas – Orange & Lime – 10″x8″

Groner’s solo exhibit, Arrangements, is on view now at the Octagon Gallery.

Some of the world’s best art is textural as well as visible, managed into shapes with iconic force.

Can You Hear Us?

Can You Hear Us?

At the first public RIOC board meeting after Susan Rosenthal’s dismissal, a longtime resident had to borrow an official’s voice to ask whether the people governing Roosevelt Island could hear us

In earlier meetings, a bright light behind Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation Vice President and General Counsel Gretchen Robinson had left her face nearly invisible. On July 2, 2020, with Susan Rosenthal gone and a new administration forming, Gretchen appeared fully lit.
