Cheech’s Chicano art addiction led to this Riverside museum, which Marin explained is a natural fit for the Inland Empire.
Giving this collection a permanent home in the Inland Empire “was an opportunity that was meant to happen,” Marin told LAist. “People were ready for this message, they were ready to see this — and they had kind of seen it before, because I had been touring the collection in one form or another for many years.”
Whether they’re Chicanx/Latinx or not, Center Artistic Director María Esther Fernández said, she’s hopeful about the impact this art will have on audiences.“I hope … that they’re moved to learn about their neighbors, that they’re moved to see a group of people that have helped build this country,” Fernández said.Cheech Marin poses points behind him, standing in front of Frank Romero's "The Arrest of the Paleteros" during the opening of the Cheech on June 16, 2022.
Cheech Marin speaks during an interview at the opening of the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture of the Riverside Art Museum on June 16, 2022. Chicano art has now established itself enough to be an influence for younger artists, Marin said, with the work speaking to them in a similar way to how it affected him.“It puts before them the possibility that they could be hanging in their museum one day, that there is a museum that’s for them,” Marin said.
Guests look at the artwork inside the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture on June 16, 2022.“Yes, maybe we’re not in L.A., and maybe we’re not San Francisco or New York, but Riverside is where it’s at — and all of these other regional museums are where it’s at as well. We’re putting the work in,” Fernández said.
