Give today! Donate to the Riverside Art Museum and The Cheech to uplift diverse artistic and cultural voices! https://lnkd.in/gH2UGnWr Donations will be matched up to $5,000 through 11:59pm December 3rd – Giving Tuesday! Your support today will make possible exhibitions, programs, and events for all ages that uphold artistic expression and increase empathy and understanding. This past year so far, we have welcomed 92,300 people from across the region, state and nation, to The Cheech and the Riverside Art Museum at the historic Julia Morgan building (we are on track to reach 100,000 by year’s end!). These participants viewed exhibitions, took guided tours, learned through art classes, or participated in one of our free Arts Walk or Summer Sundays events. In addition, our arts education team brought our Art-to-Go program to 30,000 K-8 students throughout the Inland Empire. And the Art Alliance’s Riverside Art Market welcomed 3,000 visitors and 100 artisan vendors. Between both sites, twenty-one exhibitions have featured 871 objects by 232 artists with the goal of amplifying local, Chicana/o/x, and marginalized voices and upholding artistic expression that increases empathy and understanding. The first $5,000 in donations received now through December 3rd will be matched dollar for dollar by a donation from Deena Imamura and Adam Guzkowski, RAM Trustee, essentially doubling your impact!
