This year the Riverside Art Museum (in collaboration with the City of Riverside’s Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department and the Riverside Unified School District (RUSD) hosted a signature community art event that involved hundreds of huge, floating, hand-painted spheres in Lake Evans at Fairmount Park. Called Art Float – Riverside, the project patterned after one staged a few years ago by Portraits of Hope in Los Angeles.
Windermere Tower Properties had the honor of sponsoring the Art Float Family Day in the Park which consisted of
- outdoor game of croquet, giant bowling, or hula hooping;
- Battle of the Drawings with artist and Division 9 Gallery owner Cosme Cordova;
- reflect and writing using nature-inspired prompts with Inlandia Institute;
- unique sculpture made out of found objects by Tios Tacos owner Martin Sanchez;
- musical performances coordinated by RUSD;
- learning about water conservation from the City of Riverside;
- saying hello to the City’s Parks & Recreation Department;
- spinning the Windermere Tower Properties wheel at the sponsor table; and
- sitting in a Riverside Fire Truck and honk the horn and hear the siren
We were very excited to have been part of the largest community art exhibit in the history of Riverside and connect with hundreds of people in our community!
Thank you to those that came to our Family Day in the Park!
