Central Middle School (4795 Magnolia Ave., Riverside) has many new murals illustrating bear cubs, the school mascot, their paw prints, and polkadots, as well as labels with aspirational messages. The artists who made all of these are unknown.
A series of murals have recently been painted at Taft Elementary School (959 Mission Grove Pkwy N, Riverside, CA). They have a tiger theme and are related to the school mascot. They are unsigned and the artists are unknown.

I recently stumbled upon an older mural featuring three large-eyed cartoon heads near the corner of University and Victoria Avenues (3844 Victoria Ave., Riverside, CA 92507). The mural is by Susana De Leon who goes by the name of Timoi. According to their website, Timoi is an acronym that stands for Trapped In My Own Imagination and Trusting In My Own Imagination.

An attractive fanciful landscape mural has been painted on the north wall of Carniceria Belky on Hole Ave. (10775 Hole Ave, Riverside, CA 92505). The mural depicts an idyllic landscape with a prominent mountain, river with a small waterfall, a country house, grazing cattle and a horse, and a parrot. The mural is signed R. murals with (702) 348-5398. Based on a web search on the phone number, the artist appears to be Ricardo Chicas @ricardochicasalguero.
Two similar murals have been painted on the SoCal Optometry building at the intersection of Hole Ave. and Tyler Street (4000 Tyler St, Riverside, CA 92503). Each mural looks to show a pair of eyeglasses being assembled (or disassembled) from a series of rods, cones, blocks and spheres with a raincross, Riverside's symbol, in the midst. The mural was painted by Riverside teacher and artist Sean Banister @seanbanister.

Part of our tour of the California Air Resources Board's Research facility (4001 Iowa Ave, Riverside, CA 92507) involved seeing the art within the building. Across from the employee entrance on the south side of the building is a painting of aspects of California air made by digitizing air monitoring data. The work was made by Refik Anadol in 2021. More information can be found on the sign below. Unfortunately, it was not updating and changing while we were there. It only showed a single image.
