Eight Larger-Than-Life Alebrijes Sculptures Arrive in Riverside, on Display Through Early January
The City of Riverside, in Riverside County, California, announced that eight larger-than-life Alebrijes and Nahuales sculptures from Oaxaca, Mexico, have arrived in Riverside and are now on public display. A ribbon-cutting was held on November 5 at 10 a.m. at The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture, with the office of Councilmember Clarissa Cervantes taking part.
Alebrijes are a celebrated form of Mexican folk art known for their vivid colors and fantastical animal forms. The tallest of the sculptures stands about 20 feet. The exhibition runs through early January 2027 at five locations: The Cheech, the Riverside Art Museum, Riverside City College, Bordwell Park and the Arlanza Community Center.
The city said the exhibition brings Mexican folk art into neighborhoods and campuses across Riverside and is well suited for family visits. Hours for each location are available on the City of Riverside website.
