RiverArts was envisioned and brought to life by visual artists over 50 years ago. Their pioneering artistic spirit continues to thrive today, as we find new ways to bring color, texture, light, and perspective to our Hudson River community.
“Artwork has the power to challenge our perception of the world and music has the power to challenge our emotions,” said Adam Hart of Hastings. “Combining the two can create a narrative that can help you on your journey.” Hart was talking as the producer of the 10-concert series “Live at the Upstream,” which premiered Sept. 24 and marked the return of live music to the artist-run cooperative gallery for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
The Tarrytown Music Hall will share its space with RiverArts to present a special evening of dance performed by Ballet Hispánico, the largest Latinx cultural organization in the United States and one of America’s cultural treasures.
The RiverArts Music Tour will be in full swing on Saturday, June 4, from noon to 9 p.m., offering free performances by 280 artists in 32 locations. A venue map, performance schedules, and information about all of the artists are posted on the website: 2022musictour.riverarts.org
Through June 13, the Hastings Village Hall Gallery will be the setting for the 2022 RiverArts Senior Award Winners show, which opened on May 16, co-produced by RiverArts and the Hastings Village Arts Commission for the first time.
