An electrical box, at the corner of Olivewood Ave. and Ramona Dr. (3401 Ramona Dr. Riverside), has recently been painted in purple with pictures of leaves, flowers (bougainvillea?) and olives (a nod to its location?). The artist was Katya Orovie @orlovie, a local muralist and painter.

One of the central murals along the alleyway just off of Loma Vista Street near Ottawa Ave. in the Eastside area of Riverside (1948 Loma Vista Street) was painted by Andrea Lopez @art.by.andrealopez. It is a lovely mural that features a painting of a woman and combines images from the artist's roots in Mexico and those of her life in Riverside. The artist narrates a nice reel that gives some background to the mural on the Eastside Arthouse Instagram page @eastsidearthouse.
The northern-most mural along the alleyway just off of Loma Vista Street near Ottawa Ave. in the Eastside area of Riverside (1948 Loma Vista Street) was painted by Roberto Cervantes @micorazontepinta. The mural appears to show an older painter giving his paintbrushes to a younger one.
The next mural along the alleyway just off of Loma Vista Street near Ottawa Ave. in the Eastside area of Riverside (1948 Loma Vista Street) was painted by Rick Garcia @savethepanduhs. It shows a desert scene with the animals depicted as cartoon figures.

The southern-most mural along the alleyway just off of Loma Vista Street near Ottawa Ave. in the Eastside area of Riverside (1948 Loma Vista Street) was painted by Alfred Zaragoza @maddtatter. It has images of a Mayan calendar, an Egyptian sphinx, and an eclipse of the sun over pyramids, and a boy gazing at a raincross-emblazoned tablet computer.
The Eastside Arthouse, led by Juan Navarro @luvmonsterz, arranged for five or six muralists to paint murals along an alleyway (1948 Loma Vista Street; just off of Ottawa Ave. and Loma Vista Street) in the Eastside area of Riverside. This post shows an overview of the project with the sign labeling the project, as well as photos of two of the smaller murals in the middle. One of the individual murals shows Bryan June Garcia as the artist. The other is unlabeled and the artist is unknown.

A new mural commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence has recently been painted on the building that holds the Brickwood bar (3653 Main St, Riverside, CA 92501). It features the saying e pluribus unum, out of many, one. The mural is unsigned but I believe that it was painted by Juan Navarro @luvmonsterz.

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial on the Main Street pedestrian mall in downtown Riverside (3900 Main St.) has recently been renovated. The statue is largely unchanged but the surrounding walkway and seating are new. There are also some plaques with quotes from Dr. King and some recognizing key organizations involved with the memorial. Close-ups of the statue and a view of the old memorial can be found here. The artists involved in designing and creating the new memorial are not known.
