My latest: Stories from Riverside's Eastside barrio are showcased at @TheCheechCenter in a new exhibit, "Hecho en Park Avenue." In researching community figures, the local artists came away inspired. pressenterprise.com/2025/04/…

In 2023, we have welcomed over 130,000 guests to our dual sites, including 10,000 students for museum tours, and have provided art lessons to nearly 30,000 children.
Let’s work together to exceed these numbers come 2024 and spread the arts to our vast and diverse community!

Only 20% of museum leadership identify as non-White. In partnership with @MellonFdn, @FordFoundation, Alice L. Walton Foundation and Pilot House, #LAM aims to build more diversity in staff positions such as curators and conservators to close the gap. fordf.org/LAM

.@RAMriverside opened its second location, @TheCheechCenter, in June 2022. The Cheech is a community center as well as an artistic & scholarly hub, holding 500+ notable Chicano art works. RAM and partners worked to launch this center over the course of 5 years. #IMLSmedals

.@RAMriverside’s vision has been fundamental in program and policy development to bring BIPOC audiences to the core of operations from exhibitions to governance. The board is now more than 70% BIPOC, an increase from 8% just a decade ago. #IMLSmedals @TheCheechCenter

Who knew that Cheech Marin had such an impressive collection of Chicano art. We visited @TheCheechCenter last weekend & it was lovely.

Alta’s Rosebud for best Art of 2022 goes to the inaugural exhibition at the new @TheCheechCenter, which "spotlights roughly three decades of work by sculptors and mixed-media artists Einar and Jamex de la Torre."

Comedian and actor @CheechMarin’s passion is collecting Chicano art — and his collection, the largest in the U.S., has now found a permanent home.
He told @AnthonyMason about why he loves sharing these works with the public and how the new museum is “beyond the dream.”

Labor leader, civil rights activist, and co-founder of the National Farm Workers Association, César Chávez, fought for better conditions for workers. His union jacket is now on display in our exhibition "¡Presente! A Latino History of The United States" at @amhistorymuseum.
