"The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art, Culture & Industry of the Riverside Art Museum, or The Cheech, is an art museum and academic center in Riverside, California, United States. The center will focus on the presentation and study of chicano art from across the United States. It is a collaborative effort between stand-up comedian, actor, and writer Cheech Marin, who will donate his collection of more than 700 pieces of Chicano art, the City of Riverside, which will provide the facilities to house the collection, and the Riverside Art Museum, which will manage the center. The collection will be housed in the old Riverside public library, and when complete, the center is expected to be a world-class institution to research and study "all things [related to] Chicano art".[2] It will be the first North American facility dedicated to Mexican-American art."...
