Cheech Marin or Richard Anthony “Cheech” Marin is well known as a director, actor, writer, and voice actor. What many don’t know about him is that he is the owner of the most renowned collection of Chicano Art in the entire United States. How impressive is that? This past month has been a huge month for both Marin, the city of Riverside, and the Riverside Art Museum. The city of Riverside has decided to move forward with plans to build a public place to display all of Marin’s collection. Marin’s collection includes over 700 paintings, sculptures, and photos.

The city of Riverside will be holding a public hearing on May 16, 2017 in order to discuss the building of the center. Although the building is not confirmed at the moment we still had the pleasure of producing some signage for the possible upcoming center.  

The durable event signs show a photo of what the center would possibly look like and just a short description about the center and where it would be located. The center would actually be located in the space presently occupied by the city's main library which will be relocated if the center is confirmed.

We are excited to see further progression with the talk about the center and hope to hear good news soon! The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art, Culture, & Industry would be an amazing addition to the city of Riverside!
