About the Museum
The Riverside Art Museum is a private, Nonprofit organization governed by a Board of Trustees and staffed by seven full-time and three part-time employees. Funding sources include grants, corporate and private sponsorship and museum membership.
The Riverside Art Museum's mission is to serve the varied communities of the Inland Empire by providing visual art of the finest quality and related educational and interpretive programs. Riverside Art Museum exhibits traditional and contemporary art that addresses social issues and diverse themes in a range of media techniques. To fulfill this purpose the Museum mounts more than 20 major exhibitions a year, both traveling and privately organized, in four separate major galleries throughout the Museum.
Located in the historic Mission Inn district of downtown Riverside, the Riverside Art Museum is housed in a former YWCA facility designed by Hearst Castle architect Julia Morgan. Built in 1929, the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. A History Wall located in the Museum's lobby gives visitors a brief overview of Morgan's career and the transition of the YWCA into the exhibiting museum.
