On April 15th, Riverland residents celebrated World Art Day, a global celebration that occurs annually on the birthday of Leonardo DaVinci. The entire Arts & Culture Center was buzzing with live painting,  guest artists, singing, dancing and residents embracing all the ways in which art enriches our lives.  Over 150 residents signed up to participate in art activities of all mediums in the Creativity Hub and outside on the Plaza, expressing themselves through the performing arts with song, dance, and the written word, hosted by Legends Radio personality Mike McGann.  The Riverland Photography Club displayed their works for potential new members, and the hit of the party was the art display from a local young artist, Shah Hosein, who creates mosaic pieces – created entirely out of Rubik’s cubes.  He created a custom Leonardo Davinci piece just for Riverland World Art Day in honor of the birthday boy himself.  The experience concluded on a Zen note with a sound bath meditation session and a native flute concert in the patio by the artist garden.  The event was sponsored by Humana and Legends Radio.

The very first Riverland 5K is in the books and it was a huge success with the Riverland Fitness Team raising over $5,000 for St. Jude Children’s Hospital! The Riverland community had a blast at the 5K and residents are already asking when the next event will be held. Over 190 residents signed up for the 5K and were able to get samples and win prizes from incredible sponsors like iCYRO, GNC, Clean Eats, Kimpton Vero Beach, and many more!
