Eclipse: What's your Perspective? - Opening Reception
2025-04-03 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Riverside Art Museum, 3425 Mission Inn Avenue, Riverside, CA, 92501, United States
Anticipating their exhibition Eclipse: What’s Your Perspective? at the Riverside Art Museum, Malik and Jonathan have much to reflect on. Their love for the city of San Bernardino led them to build a space of necessity, perseverance, and not taking no for an answer in the form of a photography studio @eclipsespaces

Jonathan: “We found ourselves in a renaissance of artists and businesses in San Bernardino and the IE in general. And I think that we started this with the intention of it being bigger than us.” – @323.raw

Malik: “I really look at what this project’s brought out of me, it’s really, really essential to even the photographer I’m becoming. And I think I wouldn’t be the photographer I’ve really been chasing the entire time if I didn’t go through this, because of the sense of Black community, the sense of business, and even how I’m navigating that world too.” – @maliklphoto

Hecho en Park Ave - Opening Reception
2025-04-03 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | The Cheech Center for Chicano Art & Culture, 3581 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, California, 92507, United States
Join us for the opening reception of Hecho en Park Ave.

Riverside’s historic eastside neighborhood houses generations of families who migrated to this region in hopes to establish roots and legacy. As time passes and the surrounding area changes, the same journey of a combined betterment continues for many folx who move to this eastside barrio. The Eastside Arthouse, a collective of working artists and muralists, are one of those stories and in 2021, were welcomed in by the area’s locals because of the studio’s mission to bring the art of muralismo to community.

The Chicanx/a/o people of Riverside have a long history of advocacy and self-reliance as a comunidad. This group of artists reflected on the Chicanx/a/o diaspora, and found their own lived experiences as Chicanx/as/os, mirrored within its residents. Hecho En Park Avenue, manifests itself as a self portrait of both the individuals who created the artwork and la raza who contributed pieces of themselves to la cultura Chicanx/a/o that lives alongside Park Avenue.

Featured artists include Juan Navarro, Roberto Cervantes, Megan Jones, Rosy Cortez (painting), Bryan Garcia, Jonathan Godinez, Stephanie Godoy, Clarissa Cervantes, Kirsten Kamstra, Ricardo Garcia, Daniel Toledo, Estrella Martinez, e. martinez, Willis the Gorilla, Briar Rosa, Perry Picasshoe, Natali Rosas, Tine Torres, Andrea Lopez, and Michelle Espino.
