Gallery RIVAA
Description
The Roosevelt Island Visual Art Association (RIVAA) is a nonprofit arts group that works to propel the Roosevelt Island arts scene by promoting gallery exhibitions, community events and workshops. The association, for example, converted a former pharmacy into the island's first free gallery space in 2002. Since then, they've hosted more than 50 shows and events, like Art from the Heart, an exhibition of patients' artistic creations at Roosevelt Island's Coler and Goldwater Hospitals.
