Marin’s success with this art exhibition enticed the Riverside Art Museum and city administration to invite him to permanently have a place in the museum for his Chicanx art.
The museum is set to open in May 2022. Again, the Riverside community took the lead and successfully hosted the new art center for promoting Chicano Art.
The City of Riverside enthusiastically tweeted a welcome note for the new Cheech Center. It shows this emerging art collection’s arrival is exciting news for the residents of Riverside and adjacent areas.
