Selected Oranges from the 2006 Giant Orange Artventure

In 2006, the Art Alliance of the Riverside Art Museum held a Giant Orange Artventure to raise money for the museum.  Thirty-two large oranges were sponsored and displayed at various locations in downtown Riverside.  As can be seen elsewhere on this blog, eight of the original oranges can still be found throughout Riverside. Below are photos of oranges that are no longer displayed that I took when the oranges were on public display in 2006.  I am including them on this blog to keep an online historical record of these works of art.
