According to RIOC:

Taking place on the Meditation Lawn on Saturday, October 8th from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, this 17th annual festival will include eclectic live painting of original murals, food vendors and more.

This year’s theme, “Celebrating Diversity,” invites artists to envision how celebrating diversity can display how we appreciate our differences and come together as one. After the festival, selected artworks will be displayed at Roosevelt Island’s Motorgate Atrium Gallery. All artwork will remain RIOC property and may be displayed on Roosevelt Island to beautify the community in the future.

Gallery RIVAA adds:

Please join us at RIVAA Gallery on Saturday, October 8, 2022 from 5-8PM, for the opening of “Journey”. This is a group exhibition by artists Sora Kim, Joseph Seo, Natalia Radziejewska and Hanna Kim. 

 The well known painter, Helen Frankenthaler, once said “Every canvas is a journey all its own”. Each of the artists with works in this exhibition has their individual journey as an artist and as a human being. Join them, throughout this exhibition, as they express their unique impressions of their journeys through their distinctive artworks.
