Bridge to the Community - The Gluck program and ARTSBlock
CHASS is committed to the Riverside community. Each year, the Gluck Fellows Program of the Arts provides fellowships to UC Riverside undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and visiting guest artists so that they can conduct arts-related presentations, performances, and workshops in Riverside County schools, residential facilities for elderly care and community centers. Participating departments include Art, Creative Writing, Dance, History of Art, Music, and Theatre.
ARTSblock consists of three autonomous arts institutions located in adjacent renovated historic buildings on the Main Street pedestrian mall in downtown Riverside . The Sweeney Art Gallery possesses approximately 3200 square feet of exhibition space and normally mounts five exhibitions per year, three different film series, and various other performances and events. UCR/California Museum of Photography is one of the United States ' most comprehensive photographic museums, offering photography and video exhibitions, a community digital studio, touring shows, an expansive website, and one of the world's largest photographic collections. The Culver Center of the Arts, set to open in 2009, will offer studios and performances spaces for dance, music, theatre, digital art, photography, creative writing, poetry and film. Together with other downtown arts institutions including the Riverside Art Museum , the Mission Inn Foundation and the Riverside Metropolitan Museum , ARTSblock contributes to creating an arts focus both for the Inland Empire and for the arts corridor between Los Angeles and Palm Springs .
