The Art of Living

RIVAA Gallery is proud to present The Art of Living, a landmark exhibition celebrating the creative vitality of New York City’s senior artist community. On view from April 9 through May 3, 2026, this inaugural showcase features a diverse collection of works from talented NYC residents aged 55 and above.

As the first exhibition of its kind organized by RIVAA specifically for our local elders, this exhibition highlights the depth of experience and perspective that seasoned artists bring to the cultural fabric of our city. Each featured artist was selected through a competitive city-wide open call, resulting in a vibrant gallery experience that spans various mediums and personal narratives.

Celebrate the artists and their work at our welcoming reception:

• When: Saturday, April 11

• Time: 5–8 PM

• Where: RIVAA Gallery, 527 Main Street, Roosevelt Island, NY 10044
