It was, in its own right, the very best of Roosevelt Island art. In a time fraught with anxiety and stress, CBN‘s older adult artists delivered color and spirit to Gallery RIVAA. It was as much surprise as delight.
It was unexpected. Past experience showed us that art classes for older adults produce pleasing results, good for artists and art lovers. But there was something different about this show.
For the first time, the Carter Burden Roosevelt Island artist showed their work to a larger public audience at Gallery RIVAA.
Credit where credit is due, the exhibit arrives from an ongoing program of the Roosevelt Island Carter Burden Adult Center, led by John Mendelsohn. Mendelsohn quickened the creative juices of the artists in a positive way.
