THE RIVERDALE Art Association presents the following spring exhibitions that will be on display during the month of June:

  • The RAA is holding a juried group art show, in the Grinton I. Will Library, at 1500 Central Park Ave., in Yonkers, N.Y. The showcase includes oil and acrylic paintings, aqua media, pencil and pastel works, photography and pottery.
  • RAA member Maria Formosa is exhibiting her work in an “Artist of the Month” solo show at the Riverdale-Yonkers Society for Ethical Culture, located at 4450 Fieldston Road. Ms. Formosa’s art, which includes watercolor paintings, pen and ink, graphite and color pencil works, often features vividly colorful depictions of flowers and other botanical subjects. In addition, she has also done still-life work with natural subjects such as shells and fruits, as well as other objects, both in realistic and abstract form. Both of these installations are currently open to the public and will remain on display through the end of June. There is no charge for admission. For more information, go to www.riverdaleartassociation.org.

THE AMERICAN Folk Art Museum, located at 45 W. 53rd St., presents the unique exhibition, “Kaleidoscope Quilts: The Art of Paula Nadelstern,” which is now on display through Sunday, Sept. 13. This installation highlights a collection of creative quilts that depict kaleidoscopic images made by Ms. Nadelstern, who is a Riverdale resident and has achieved international recognition for her innovative and complex designs. The artist takes jewel-like fabrics and joins them together like slivers of colored glass to create crystalline patterns of wheels, snowflakes, shifting ellipses, and other movements across the surfaces of the textiles. For more information, call 212-265-1040 or go to www.folkartmuseum.org.
