If you’re looking to add a splash of culture to your summer Sundays without splashing out any cash, head over to the Riverside Art Museum and the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture. These cultural hotspots are serving up Free Summer Sundays through September 1, thanks to Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program. Just remember to reserve your spot in advance because apparently, art lovers are like sardines in a can—there’s only so much room! You can snag your free tickets at riversideartmuseum.org/events or swing by in person. Sundays are open from noon to 5 p.m., perfect timing for a post-brunch stroll through creativity.
At The Cheech, dive into over 50 years of Judithe Hernández’s masterpieces, delving deep into the gritty legacies of colonization and the U.S.-Mexico border, while pondering their impact on women and children. Feeling more at home with home-themed art? Check out “Hogar Dulce Hogar,” featuring 20 local artists’ takes on what ‘home’ means amidst global migration. Meanwhile, the Riverside Art Museum presents “Before You Now,” a portrait extravaganza with works from over 50 artists, and “Plastic Bodies,” Sheila Pree Bright’s thought-provoking photography mixing women of color with doll faces to challenge white beauty standards. These exhibits run through the summer, so there’s plenty of time to soak up the inspiration and maybe even snap a selfie with a piece that speaks to you.
