The Museums mission is to serve the “various communities of Riverside and its surrounding areas by providing visual art of the finest quality and related educational and interpretive programs.” Additionally, it is the Museums responsibility to exhibit art that addresses local and regional history and art that explores contemporary social issues, themes and media techniques.
