📅 June 28 – September 27, 2026

RIVAA is pleased to present The Ones We Share the World With, a solo exhibition by Taisiia Visnitskaya

Originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, and now based in New York, Visnitskaya graduated from the Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design with a degree in Interior Design. Her work is deeply inspired by nature and the animal kingdom, capturing the beauty, character, and spirit of living creatures.

Through expressive animal portraits and serene seascapes, The Ones We Share the World With celebrates the animals and natural environments that enrich our lives. The exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the quiet presence of the living world around us and reminds us that humanity is only one part of a much larger shared home.

RIVAA Gallery presents Augmented Humanity, a solo exhibition by Sophia Vitko

An exploration of the digital age through the slow medium of painting — we are augmented by phones, hooked into feeds, accompanied by AI. Humanoid robots are starting to look like us. Vitko’s deliberate choice to address these questions in an emphatically physical medium sits at the heart of the work.

🗓️ On view June 25 – July 5, 2026

Thank you to our loyal audience and amazing guest artists Sarah Darling and April Sun for a beautiful concert yesterday, Tender Things, to conclude the third season of Roosevelt Island Chamber Music Society. We experienced some real gems from the Romantic period repertoire, played with great sincerity, passion and gusto by the brilliant Sun and Darling. And, Thomas and Yi-heng were lucky enough to join in for some Schubert and Keith Jarrett as well! 
Let’s keep spreading the word about how local, live music-making and concert gatherings like the RICMS can make a difference in the lives of our neighbors, ourselves, and for the cultural well-being and connection of our communities. It doesn’t take huge budgets, celebrity status, or big ticket sales to make joyful, excellent music happen. It takes belief in ourselves, support for the artists who labor passionately in our own neighborhoods, and exercising our own capacity for creativity, connection, kindness, and loving those right in front of us. Music and art keeps us in this space, so let’s keep doing it!  Stayed tuned for upcoming announcements about the RICMS 2026-2027 Season, www.ricmsociety.org photos
