OrangeAID artwork by Reuben Munoz
In 2006, the Art Alliance of the Riverside Art Museum
created a giant orange project which scattered artist-inspired
fiberglass fruit around Riverside's streets.
This time, they have shrunk the oranges and
will be creating a grove of over 100 small fiberglass oranges
created by local artists.
Artists have been asked to use the small oranges as a
unique canvas for their talents for a fundraiser that will
take place in November.
The OrangeAID exhibit will take place November 1 - 9. Click here for more information and to see a few of the oranges that have already been completed!
The SOLD OUT Benefit and Auction will take place on November 9 from 5:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
The community can still attend all the free OrangeAID events, November 1-8.
Riversiders who wish to see the artist-inspired small oranges can still do so for free during the week-long show at the museum starting at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 1, for Arts Walk, and running through November 8 during regular museum hours, Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and Sundays, 12:00 noon - 4:00 p.m.
In addition to seeing the grove of small art oranges, visitors can also shop at the Orange Pop-Up Boutique which will be open during museum hours and features local artisans and home-made items.

OrangeAID Sponsorships are $500
Here is what your donation provides!
Your sponsorship ensures you an artist-designed "art orange" (a fiberglass orange a bit bigger than a basketball) perfect for home or office. All "art-oranges" are one-of-a-kind. A hundred or more small oranges will be decorated for sponsorship. Afterward, they will be placed in a 10-day exhibition at the Riverside Art Museum for community viewing. All oranges will then be matched with a sponsor through a lottery and unveiled at the Benefit Event on November 9, 2012.
Your name or business will be acknowledged on all signage, programs, and advertisements throughout the OrangeAID "orange show."
Your sponsorship is tax-deductible (to the extent allowed by law). The Riverside Art Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
