Serenade Art at Off the Wall comes alive at the Riverside Art Museum this October with a Gala Opening on October 14, 2016 and sales that continue through Thursday, October 20, 2016.
Come and shop your heart out at this six-day art sale that fills two huge galleries with original art that you can buy right “off the wall”. The sale will feature works by artists and craftspeople from throughout the Inland Empire. It’s a rare opportunity to purchase original pieces of art at the VERY reasonable prices of $100, $200, $300, or $400. This is a great chance for new collectors and for seasoned collectors alike.
The serenade begins on Friday, October 14, 2016, 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m., with a Spanish Gala that will kick off the biggest art sale in Riverside! Tickets for this Latin-themed party and art sale are $25 each. ONLY guests at the Gala will be able to buy art on our opening night. Become a sponsor and get early entry into the event so you can grab your favorite piece before someone else grabs it off the wall.
The sale continues for the general public on Saturday, October 15, through Thursday, October 20. Doors open daily at the Riverside Art Museum at 10:00 a.m. (12:00 noon on Sunday) and close at 4:00 p.m. The Riverside Art Museum is closed on Monday.
On Thursday, October 20, the last day of the sale, there will be an additional incentive of 25% off all remaining artworks.
Serenade Art at Off the Wall is a fundraiser for the Riverside Art Museum. The Art Alliance of the Riverside Art Museum is the non-profit fundraising arm of the museum and hosts many events all year long to keep art alive in Riverside.
Come and join us as we have fun “Serenading Art”!!!

Become a Sponsor!
Are you passionate about art? Does a beautiful painting make your heart want to sing?
Well, you’re going to to love all the alegria that is coming your way this fall as the Art Alliance of the Riverside Art Museum presents its most popular fundraiser: Off the Wall.
Off the Wall will romance you with an art sale featuring over a hundred local artists, a Spanish Gala where you’ll enjoy food and wine to the sound of Latin serenades (and maybe a little jazz) and you will be able to “grab” the art of your choice right off the wall — at incredible prices.
We are looking for a few great sponsors and wanted to offer you the opportunity to be part of this exciting and fun-filled event. RAM is the largest visual arts museum in the Inland Empire and welcomes over 50,000 visitors each year. Your sponsorship will allow our museum to keep showing great art and offer educational programs for all ages.
You can choose to be a Picasso Sponsor for $1000, a Dali Sponsor for $500, or a Miro Sponsor for $250. With these tax deductible sponsorships, your name or company name will be listed on all marketing materials under the event title. We believe that this will total nearly 65,000 brand impressions throughout Riverside County. We will provide you with free tickets to the the always sold-out gala event, a value of $150 for the Picasso Sponsorship, $100 for the Dali, and 450 for the Miro. In addition, you’ll get to enjoy a Sponsor Reception on Friday, October 14, starting at 5 p.m. Just prior to the Spanish Gala starting at 6 p.m., the sponsors, depending on your level, will get early entry to the sale to grab art off the walls and purchase them before anyone else!
To meet our printing deadlines, we need to hear from you as soon as possible, but certainly by August 31.
