Dear friends of the arts:
A number of years ago, former City of Riverside Mayor Ron Loveridge approached the Riverside Arts Council with an idea for a platform by which news of arts and cultural events could be shared. Thus the 15 Favorite Things to Do in Riverside was born. Ever since, that weekly email blast has gone out to you, our subscribers. There was a time during the pandemic when the list featured virtual events happening all over the world. Slowly, inexorably, Riverside’s arts organizations have climbed back and are exhibiting, presenting and producing at a rate that is even stronger than before. There is a lot to see and do in our city. Please share this email with your friends and get them to sign up, as well. We hope to see you at an event soon.

Chasing the Sun Exhibit
La Sierra University
Artist, naturalist and author Tim Musso, an associate Art+Design professor at La Sierra University, is exhibiting prints this month from his first book, Chasing the Sun. The picture book follows the migration and lives of the Arctic tern, known to have the longest migration of any animal. The book derives from a 2018 rafting trip in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and is the culmination of hundreds of hours of research and painstaking work sketching compositions and creating detailed, hand-cut wood reliefs of the terns and other iconic migratory animals such as whales and caribou. The 40-page book was published in August by The Creative Company. The exhibit includes 20 linocut prints from the book, final art, state proofs, sketches, and a short process video. The exhibit is curated by Art+Design Chair Terrill Thomas.
When: Current - October 26, 2023 | Monday - Thursday, 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
