I can’t seem to shake what occurred last week and I couldn’t write today without reflecting a bit.  Tragedy comes in many colors but rarely have we seen a shade so horrific.  Every day I get older I seem to be more grateful for the basic beauty of life and…

Art Fairs. It’s about the art.  Maybe I’m a purist and perhaps sometimes a little idealistic.  If you know anything about Art Basel week in Miami, most of what people talk about is the partying, the beautiful people, the great weather and a whole lot of fun.  But, after spending…

Art exhibits are not all made equal.  Sounds simple, right?  Picasso at the Met is very different than going to a little gallery in Cape Cod. Last week we hosted an amazing fundraiser that I was so proud to have been part of.  The United Way of Bergen County is…

Gratitude.  Thanksgiving.  They obviously go together and I want to start this by thanking our new community of friends and advocates for supporting us and helping us get the word out.  I also want to wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving. Every year that ticks by I try harder…

I’m art inspired.  Don’t know how I got there but I look at art now and hear music.  When I was younger like a lot of us I would obsessively listen to music for hours on end.  What I didn’t know is that what seemed so basic…this love for sound…was…

Our first student exhibition is going to happen at the end of the year and we are calling it Art Effect.    For the first time at One River, our students begin the task of creating art with the goal in mind of sharing it publicly with others. It is my…

One River rocked the Englewood Sidewalk Sale with street artist Eric Inkala created an amazing mural and Nik Rael laying down some acoustic music.  What a day…new students enrolling in the program and a new vibe beginning to take shape in Englewood, NJ http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.385535504834413.87962.282624881792143&type=1 Sunday, July 29, 2012

This is the largest presentation outside of Italy of works by Italian artist Alighiero Boetti (1940–1994) to date. Working in his hometown of Turin in the early 1960s amidst a close community of artists that included Luciano Fabro, Mario Merz, Giulio Paolini, and Michelangelo Pistoletto, among others, Boetti established himself…
