According to Open Door Associate Director Alex Eshelman:
Good morning OPEN DOORS family,
Here’s a reminder that this Thursday March 13th at 6pm, we’ll be having our 5th Annual Nursing Home Lives Matter Vigil. Join us in solidarity as we commemorate the lives lost during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Here is the registration link, see the full invitation below.
We look forward to seeing all of you who can make it.
In March 2020, the Reality Poets, fought to protect the lives of residents and staff in their NYC nursing home who were put in harm’s way by the racist and ableist decisions made by the higher powers. Today, we lead the fight for residents and staff in all facilities.
As previously reported, the Nursing Home Lives Matter movement began at Coler on Roosevelt Island during the Covid Pandemic. Remember?

Thank you 💚. We love creating green space that benefits all species and uplifts our health physically and mentally!
The Miyawaki Method insists on starting with nutrient-rich amended soil (think compost, fungi - no chemical fertilizers) the quick growth happens when layers of plants canopy, sub-canopy, shrubs, ground cover are planted very close together - definitely a-new-to-us technique. So close that the underground fungi can connect to all the tree roots exchanging nutrients trees can not uptake in exchange for sugars if they need from trees. The key is in closeness! We are so grateful @rooseveltislandny helps care for this baby forest on the daily, first 3 years need water and weed care, then it is self-sufficient.
Hear from the RIOC Interim Leadership Team, get to know our friends at Roosevelt Island Advanced Dentistry, meet 50-year island resident Pilar Sierra, read the latest updates from RIOC and more!
Roosevelt Island will be celebrating Pride Month in June with RIVAA Gallery's annual LGBTQ+ artist exhibition. RIVAA Gallery is calling for artists to submit their ideas for participation in the exhibition.
We're thrilled to invite LGBTQ+ artists to participate in our upcoming exhibition themed "Pride & Prejudice" at RIVAA Gallery. This year's theme explores the topic of identity and societal perception, focusing on both/either side of the title's coin: the celebration of LGBTQ+ pride and the struggles against prejudice.
It is also a nod to Jane Austen's celebrated novel. The exhibition is an open call for LGBTQ+ artists based in NYC & will feature works that reflect personal narratives, historical challenges, and visions of a more inclusive society.
The exhibition will showcase a diverse range of mediums, including painting, photography, sculpture, digital and video art, and mixed media. Feel free to express your interpretation of PRIDE & PREJUDICE (you can focus on either one or contrast both, etc.) through your art.
Submission Guidelines:
Up to 5 pieces per artist.
Please upload photos of your art and post the link in this form.
Explain how your artwork relates to the theme "Pride & Prejudice."
Artwork must be ready to hang or set on a display surface.
Submission Details:
Submissions are free.
If your artwork is accepted, there is a $25 flat fee for participation.
Drop-off your accepted artwork in-person with the fee at RIVAA Gallery on May 29, 2025.
Important Dates:
Deadline for submissions: May 15, 2025
Exhibition dates: June 1-12, 2024
Opening Reception: Sunday, June 1, 2025 from 5 - 8PM
