Drink & Draw is a modern twist on the classic artistic practice of life drawing. Artists of all experience levels and backgrounds are welcome, especially those that have always wanted to try their hand.
In this non-instructional event, we aim to create a relaxing, social and inclusive environment for the community to come together for a fun night of drawing. After some mingling with fellow guests, participants will have an opportunity to capture the human body in poses of different lengths, with breaks for refreshments in between.
There’s wine, crackers, cheese and cookies to enjoy, and our host curates a playlist to keep your energy flowing. The evening lasts about 2 hours, and participants leave with a collection of their new works… and maybe some new friends too.
RiverArts is proud to be able to provide this unique opportunity right here in our Rivertowns, an opportunity which is often only accessible to art students or by traveling into New York City, with a significant investment of time and tuition. Drink & Draw offers a perfect entry-level for the amateur artist, and we have seen beginners improve significantly as their skills develop in subsequent sessions and they draw on their experience and learn from others.
Model provided. Please bring your own art supplies and arrive on time. Must be over 18 to attend. Wine for those 21+

We are thrilled to feature Monica Carrier (@monicacandoit) and Nathan Frey (@n8plaster) who are both showing at Peep Space in Tarrytown, Timothy Duch (@duchtim), Iris Jaffe (@isjaffe) and Edward Bear Miller (@edwardbearmiller) who are showing at their studios.

Salon Sundays are inspired by the French salons founded in the 18th century as a means for new and emerging artists to gather and show their works in large numbers. Artists filled the walls, floor to ceiling, exhibiting anything and everything for the public and each other. Salons drew intellectuals, writers, poets, sculptors, painters, printmakers, supporters, and those interested in engaging with the creative community.

Join RiverArts for a conversation with Ted Andreasian and Nune Karamyan, led by artist and expert art restorer, Katerina Spilio. Ted and Nune discuss their new book, Stone and Candle: Armenian Monasteries—the epic journey into the mountains of Armenia, unpack the deeper meanings of the book’s title, the inspiration for the trip, and the power of connecting to the past while shaping a creative path into the future.
Stone and Candle: Armenian Monasteries is a collection of images that pays homage to Armenian nature and the magnificent churches ingeniously assembled over centuries by stone. Within the book’s pages, Ted and Nune’s work captures the profound play between human artistry and its surrounding natural environment. The images weave a narrative conveying the intrinsic connection between human creativity and the sacred architectural marvels of Christian heritage.

About the Artists:
Ted and Nune are a photographic team who seek inspiration and a spiritual dimension in the man-made world. They journey to discover monumental human constructions for studies of architecture and industry, bringing a joint male-female point of view to their shared vision. Their work is held in many private collections and has been exhibited in many countries around the world.
Since 1987, Katerina Spilio has worked for and later led Byzantine Icons Studio/Byzantium Arts Studio, where she has crafted icons ranging from a sixteen-foot Last Supper to delicate miniatures measuring five inches across. Her religious artworks find homes in churches and private collections across the United States. Beyond her religious works, Spilio’s secular work adorns private collections in the United States, England, and Greece. In addition to running her own business, she is also a scenic artist for film and television.

Join us for a conversation with artist Haifa Bint-Kadi as she unveils her new collection, Memory Palaces, led by Marie-Louise Miller.
This collection features 3-dimensional structures with mosaic elements representing the essence of home stemming from her deep connection to her own heritage to the Arab culture. Each palace is paired with an audio recording specific to the memories contained by the palace.
Memory Palaces is inspired by Bint-Kadi’s childhood as a first generation Palestinian-Afro-Caribbean American and a daughter of refugees. Bint-Kadi’s work explores the feelings of nostalgia, grief, and yearning often felt by refugees and immigrants as they relocate in search of new homes. Each piece represents an evolution of memories drawn from the past into the present through the Bint-Kadi’s mosaic practice. This collection is made possible by a grant received from NYSCA.
About the ArtistHaifa Bint-Kadi a first Generation Palestinian-Afro-Caribbean American, a daughter of refugees, a mother, and a grandmother. Haifa was trained in Italy as a classical mosaicist, but even in her early work, she was always drawn to the idea of public art as an index or marker of lived experience. She holds a B.A. and M.F.A. from Istituto d’Arte per il Mosaico in Ravenna, Italy, and has been creating public art mosaics since 1993. She serves as a full-time curator for the City of Yonkers library system, a certified teaching artist, and an adjunct professor at Suny Purchase, focusing on Arts for Social Justice. Haifa has created over 24 public art mosaics and steel sculptures across the state. Haifa’s studio practice revolves around family archives, translating them into paintings and mixed media-maps exploring her Afro-Caribbean and Arab roots. Recognized with numerous awards, grants, and accolades, including the Kennedy Center’s Steam Educator Award, Haifa believes art fosters healing, builds self-esteem and identity, and inspires wonder and exploration.

Salon Sundays invite visitors to tour local artists’ studios! Salon Sundays offers an exciting opportunity to gain insights into the creative process, learn about techniques in a variety of media and interact with artists here in the Rivertowns community.  In most cases, participating artists will be exhibiting works for sale so please consider supporting our community of artists through your patronage.
Salon Sundays are inspired by the French salons founded in the 18th century as a means for new and emerging artists to gather and show their works in large numbers. Artists filled the walls, floor to ceiling, exhibiting anything and everything for the public and each other. Salons drew intellectuals, writers, poets, sculptors, painters, printmakers, supporters, and those interested in engaging with the creative community.
