Riverside: The City of Arts And Culture

The city of Riverside is actively developing a cultural plan, which is hoped will improve the quality of life in the city and leverage the economic impact of arts and culture.

The cultural plan addresses seven arts and culture issue areas:

1. Branding and marketing Riverside’s arts and culture
2. University and college connections
3. Fox Performing Arts Theater
4. Arts and Cultural festivals and events
5. Arts education (K – 12)
6. Funding and resources
7. City Hall: Organizational Structure to Advance Arts and Culture

The things I’m personally most excited about is bringing back Downtown Wednesday Nights this summer and starting something called the Downtown Street Jam, to be held the second Saturday of every month, beginning in soon.   Voodoo Glow Skulls will be performing April 11th.

Go Riverside!
