Riverspace representatives visited with tenants at Nyack Plaza on May 13. Our host was Dot Harris, President of the local Tenants Association. We had a lively conversation and most of the residents expressed enthusiasm for the downtown project. They particularly liked the idea of bringing back more stores and services so seniors can do their shopping locally in Nyack. We look forward to ongoing dialogue with our neighbors to ensure that the downtown project serves our entire community.

If you would like to be a part of the continuing conversation, let us know!

Seventeen films made by students from twelve local schools were shown to an audience of 250 at Riverspace on May 13. The student films ranged from thirty seconds to eight minutes in length and included animation, documentary, narrative, and music videos. The Festival was part of the Wednesday Night at the Movies series sponsored by Rivertown Films and Riverspace. It included an exhibition of film equipment in the Riverspace lobby. Thank you to the Arts Council of Rockland and Orange & Rockland Utilities for sponsoring the event.

Of all the hundreds of volunteers who have helped Riverspace, two uniquely gifted visual artists stand out for their remarkable contributions to telling our story. Myles Aronowitz and Lisa Levart have visually narrated Riverspace’s development through thousands of powerful and poetic photographs capturing a diverse range of performing artists, theater-goers, and community members. Most of the striking images you see on the Riverspace web site and in our publications come through their lenses. The Board and staff of Riverspace are very grateful to Myles and Lisa for their outstanding work and look forward to seeing much more of their artistry.
