‘We the People’ exhibit centers Chicano life at Riverside’s Cheech
The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art and Culture in Riverside has opened its annual summer exhibition, “We the People: Chicano Art in the USA,” featuring 126 works by 61 artists. Curated by Benito Huerta, the show draws primarily from the 550 artworks donated by actor and comedian Cheech Marin to the museum’s permanent collection, with many pieces on view for the first time in Riverside. The exhibition runs through May 2026 and replaces the previous “Cheech Collects” series, which will return in 2027 for the museum’s fifth anniversary.
