RIOC Community Relations Specialist Erica Spencer-El together with Gallery RIVAA's Tad Sudol welcomed visitors to the Motorgate Gallery and described how the Motorgate Gallery began. Mr Sudol said:

I think this is the only garage in entire New York who has displays of such big art work...

... It reminds me a little bit of National Gallery in Washington...

Mural artist Jeff Lee described his mural representing a Roosevelt Island:

... haunted by the good things in our past. The amount of care that the nurses and doctors and staff on this Island have given people over the years...

and Julia Ferguson spoke about the mural created by her teenage daughter for the Garden Club.



Tad Sudol hoped for future Motorgate Gallery projects including displaying the old Tram Wheels currently stored nearby and eventual use of the old Tram Cabins as well.
