<strong>Art</strong> <strong>Exhibit</strong>:<br />
State House, Boston<br />
Who could have imagined, when <strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>Art</strong>s<br />
began, that within five years of its inception it would be<br />
exhibiting art in the State House in Boston? It would not<br />
have happened without the keen artistic eye and heart of<br />
Senator Stanley Rosenberg, an art enthusiast. He invited<br />
<strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>Art</strong>s to fill his four State House offices with<br />
works by its students. The artists are proud and excited<br />
about the exhibition. Annette Helgerson beamed, “Seeing<br />
my art on display is great, and I cannot believe it will be<br />
shown in Boston.”<br />
This opportunity at the State House and a generous<br />
donation of oil paints from Royal Talens inspired a project<br />
called “The Cobra Painters,” named for Cobra Paints<br />
made by Royal Talens. Fourteen <strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>Art</strong>ists met for<br />
two hours every day for three weeks to learn the art of oil<br />
painting. Coralie Donohue said about her experience, “I<br />
like working in art and learning the techniques. I enjoy<br />
learning how to paint mountains, birds, water, and sky.”<br />
Usually the artists have class for one hour per week.<br />
Meeting for eight hours per week allowed them to reach<br />
a greater level of concentration and depth in their art, as<br />
reflected in this comment from Mike O’Neill, “When I am<br />
doing art I lose myself in the painting. Sometimes I can<br />
see my picture on the white canvas before I paint it.”<br />
The art, an eclectic mix of 50 oil paintings, watercolors,<br />
drawings, and collages representing the fascinating range<br />
of personality and character of the <strong>Riverside</strong> artists, is on<br />
view from January 14 - March 17.<br />
Other sponsors, like Eastmont Framing, amplified the<br />
beauty of the art with frames. Canson donated fine art<br />
supplies like paint brushes. TD Insurance’s generosity<br />
enabled the guests to make the roundtrip to Boston for<br />
the reception.<br />
The reception on February 8th celebrated the<br />
accomplishments of the artists and reflected the spirit<br />
of cooperation which is a core strength of <strong>Riverside</strong><br />
<strong>Industries</strong>. Seventy people including artists, family, staff,<br />
sponsors, and a Northampton Daily Hampshire Gazette<br />
reporter and photographer all boarded a Peter Pan Bus for<br />
a festive ride to the State House.<br />
Senator Stanley Rosenberg and Adam Goodwin talk about<br />
some of the art.<br />
The main reception took place in Nurses Hall, a grand<br />
historic space capable of holding a hundred people. Here,<br />
the group shared lunch, enjoyed a speaking program,<br />
and mingled with members of the legislature and State<br />
House staff. Smaller groups took turns touring Senator<br />
Rosenberg’s offices to view the art and meet the Senator’s<br />
staff who all expressed their appreciation for the colorful<br />
art brightening their work space.<br />
The art, an eclectic mix of 50 oil paintings, watercolors,<br />
drawings, and collages representing the fascinating<br />
range of personality and character of the <strong>Riverside</strong><br />
artists, is on view from January 14 - March 17.<br />
The entire project was a wonderful adventure, full of<br />
challenges and rewards. It has encouraged the <strong>Riverside</strong><br />
artists to new heights and brought even more excitement<br />
to the program.<br />
<strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>Industries</strong> would like to thank Senator<br />
Rosenberg for this wonderful opportunity to show the true<br />
spirit of our artists, and for <strong>Riverside</strong> to join with members<br />
of the State House for this heartfelt celebration in honor of<br />
<strong>Riverside</strong> artists and <strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>Industries</strong> as a whole.<br />
A special thank you to our <strong>Art</strong> Reception Sponsors: Canson | Royal Talens | TD Insurance | Eastmont Framing
News to Report<br />
Deb Thomas,<br />
President<br />
In the spirit of keeping our mission fresh,<br />
<strong>Riverside</strong> has embarked upon a venture which will<br />
guide our activities over the next few years. I want to<br />
thank all of you who participated.. The final tallying<br />
of the results is not complete, but there were two<br />
organizational themes that rose to the top. One is<br />
reinventing the work that people do at One Cottage<br />
Street. The other is identifying alternative financial<br />
means to support our mission.<br />
To begin tackling the first objective, <strong>Riverside</strong> has<br />
engaged three master’s level Isenberg School of<br />
Management interns who will dedicate their entire final semester to this project.<br />
The second theme of enriching our financial resources will take the form of a Major Gifts<br />
campaign. The specifics of this fund drive are unclear with the target of it being finalized this<br />
spring.<br />
The care and advocacy that the community gives to <strong>Riverside</strong> may be measured in our every<br />
day experiences: the excitement of learning, the delight in friendships, the pride of being a part<br />
of something bigger than ourselves, to name a few. As the year unfolds we hope that you will<br />
join us in these two ventures.<br />
<strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>Industries</strong>,<br />
Receives Highest Marks<br />
for the 10th consecutive time<br />
<strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>Industries</strong>, Inc. received the highest possible recognition, (three-year accreditation)<br />
from the international Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). This<br />
survey marks the tenth consecutive time <strong>Riverside</strong> has received this award.<br />
The CARF team highlighted several areas in which <strong>Riverside</strong> excels. Among some of the noted<br />
strengths were the high level of satisfaction with the services that <strong>Riverside</strong>’s committed staff<br />
provides; the plethora of art, artists, and exhibitions in our physical space and surrounding community<br />
arenas; our dedicated and caring board, management and employees; our commitment to<br />
community integration; our well-maintained 160,000 square foot historic building.<br />
Deborah Thomas, <strong>Riverside</strong>’s President, stated that the evaluation process is extensive. It<br />
includes professional surveyors’ meetings with the people we support, employees, business<br />
partners, funding sources, families, and guardians affiliated with <strong>Riverside</strong>. The agency is evaluated<br />
from many different perspectives in order to determine the quality of service the agency<br />
provides. Thomas added, “<strong>Riverside</strong> was awarded this distinction because of the people who give<br />
so generously of themselves each and every day. I’m pleased that their dedication and hard work<br />
have been recognized and applauded by an internationally renowned certification organization.”<br />

Partnership:<br />
Muth Associates, Inc.<br />
Pop Quiz: What do the following relationships have in common?<br />
• Bruce Willis & Demi Moore<br />
• Aqua Net Hairspray & Big Hair<br />
• Milli Vanilli<br />
• Doug Muth of Muth Associates, Inc. & <strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>Industries</strong>, Inc.<br />
If you answered that they all began in the 80s, you’re right! Give yourself<br />
extra credit if you also knew that the only partnership still going strong<br />
is that of Doug Muth and <strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>Industries</strong>. Muth Associates, Inc.<br />
of Springfield, Massachusetts, was established in 1963. President,<br />
Doug Muth, forged a relationship with <strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>Industries</strong>’ production<br />
department in the 1980s.<br />
A leader in the design and distribution of custom packaging materials<br />
and systems, Muth called on <strong>Riverside</strong> to help meet his assembly and<br />
packaging needs. And he is still calling us today! Working on a variety of<br />
contracts over the past 30 years, <strong>Riverside</strong>’s Production Department has<br />
worked with the use of specialty boxes, bags, and cases.<br />
The Department continues to see an average of four long-running<br />
contracts per year. Ron LaFleur, <strong>Riverside</strong>’s Production Consultant,<br />
reports that “Muth Associates is a very significant company with which<br />
the production department does business--in longevity of relationship,<br />
consistency of contract work, and financial benefit to the Department.”<br />
LaFleur isn’t the only one to recognize the significance of <strong>Riverside</strong>’s<br />
relationship with Muth Associates. Employment Supervisor, Nick<br />
Isherwood, stated that “Muth’s contracts are the most beneficial for<br />
our clients. So many people are working on them now. What once was<br />
exclusive to a few clients is now available to many, because people have<br />
worked hard to learn the job!”<br />
Isherwood continued to explain that because the partnership between<br />
Muth Associates and <strong>Riverside</strong> <strong>Industries</strong> has continued for so long, the<br />
Production Department has been able to focus on job specific trainings<br />
tailored to repeat contracts. This has allowed the department to increase<br />
the overall number of employees available to work on more complex<br />
assembly and packaging contracts, thus benefitting both <strong>Riverside</strong><br />
employees and Muth Associates.<br />
It is precisely this long-standing and reciprocal relationship that has<br />
kept Doug Muth connected to <strong>Riverside</strong> through the years. “It’s a nice<br />
feeling. You can get something done and help other people at the same<br />
time!” For more information, please visit www.muthassociates.com<br />
