In 2022, the Riverside Art Museum opened the doors to the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture, which showcases pieces from Marin's collection.
In 2017, the Riverside Art Museum presented a touring exhibition of works on paper from the private collection of actor and comedian Cheech Marin. The show may have been small, but it was a smash, drawing record-breaking audiences to a corner of the Southland that hasn't always registered on art world maps. That initial collaboration sparked permanent change in the Inland Empire's cultural landscape.
Recently, a groundbreaking show organized by independent curator Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, 'Xican-a.o.x. Body,' examined the ways Chicanx artists have represented the body in contemporary art. L.A. gallerist Charlie James, who represents numerous emerging Latinx artists , says the venue 'connects O.G. Chicano art with vital, exploding contemporary Latinx artistic expression.' At the Cheech, art history is grounded in the Chicano experience — past, present and future.
