Just inside the main entrance of the California Air Resources Board's Southern Headquarters (4001 Iowa Ave, Riverside, CA 92507) is an air pollution poetic text entitled, "There Are Many Idioms About Breathing And Yet". The poem and work was created by Kameelah Janan Rasheed in 2021. It is accompanied by a video. More information about the work can be found on the sign below.
I was recently able to tour the California Air Resources Board's Research facility (4001 Iowa Ave, Riverside, CA 92507). Next to the employee entrance on the south side of the building is a portrait of Dr. Arie Haagen-Smit, a pioneer in air pollution research and the founding chairman of California Air Resources Board in 1968. As described on a CARB webpage, the portrait is a collection of many photos of the sky forming the image of Dr. Haagen-Smit. The portrait was produced by ZGF Architects specifically for CARB's Southern California Headquarters in Riverside, CA.

A new mural featuring prominent aspects of the history of the Casa Blanca area has been painted at the entrance to the Casa Blanca Elementary School (7351 Lincoln Ave., Riverside, CA) school yard. The orange growing history of the area, the murals on Lincoln Ave., the palm trees, the local KPRO radio station and a Raincross-bearing pavilion are shown. The mural is unsigned but based on an Instagram post, I believe that the mural was painted by local muralist Mano Mirande @_mano_man.
