The artists of both are unknown.

A new floral mural has been painted on the wall next to Tony's Market (4098 Park Ave, Riverside, CA) in the Park Avenue Arts District. The mural is unsigned but according to a post by Juan Navarro @luvmonsterz who presumably designed and directed the project, it was painted by a group of volunteers from U.S. Bank. The mural is adjacent to the house of Juanita Bigelow whose father was the original owner of Tony's market, and features calla lillies and gladiola flowers reminiscent of flowers which were brought by her father from San Clemente for sale in the Eastside neighborhood.

There is an attractive new citrus-themed mural on Northrop Drive (about 7505 Northrop Dr, Riverside, CA) to the east of Panera Bread (505 E Alessandro Blvd, Riverside, CA). I recently discovered it while out riding. It was painted by @hahahorton.

The electrical box in front of White Park (3901 Market St, Riverside, CA) in downtown Riverside has been wrapped with a vinyl coating providing a brief history of the park combined with photos and artwork. It is part of the newly identified Arts and Culture District. The artist and authors are unknown. One side of the box is near the fence and was difficult to photograph and so the three sections on that side are show separately at the end. I am sad to say that essentially all of the cacti described on the box are no longer in the park. I was told that the last grouping was removed a month or two ago. Apparently one fell over on a visitor. I am sure that that wasn't pleasant.
