Unfortunately, there was some difficulty juggling the Festival of Lights and Artists on Main. Artists on Main has been cancelled. There is still plenty to do so don't cancel your plans if you intended to go. We know many artists rely on income from Artswalk, especially during the Holidays. Please look for ways to support local artists outside of Vendors on Main.
Museums and Galleries Still Open
The Riverside Art Museum, The Cheech, RCAA, Division 9, and UCR Arts are still open and free to the public for the first Thursday of December. This would be a great night to see what's going on at the Festival of Lights and avoid the weekend rush.
Palabra at the Cheech
The Cheech will continue its series of open mic poetry this Thursday night in the lobby. Palabra is a celebration of the spoken word and language. Host Donato Martinez and poets Meliza Bañales, Carlos Ornales, and Antoine Victorin will get the night started. They will turn the microphone over to the public at 8 p.m., and registration begins at 6 p.m.
Riversider Magazine Photo Show and Sale
Riversider Magazine has been highlighting the best side of our city on its pages for four years. This is an opportunity to take some of those iconic images and purchase prints directly from the photographers. Image One Cameras and Riversider Magazine host their inaugural photo show and sale at the Raincross District at 3583 Market.
Come meet the photographers, listen to the guys from Penrose Records play oldies, and check out some of the cars from the magazine on display inside the building. This should be an incredible event and a unique opportunity to buy holiday gifts.
