March 12 to 18 – the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum Of Art presents “Failure of the Mechanical” an exhibit featuring the work of Cal State San Bernardino graduate student Frank Perez.

The exhibit explores the notion that in the face of a broken recorder, we once again rely on language as the last effort of proof that the visceral exists. A reception will be held from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 11. General admission is free although a donation of $3 is suggested. Parking at CSUSB is $6 per vehicle.

Rowe’s retrospective, Mother Wit explores the full range and depth of her artistic expression. RAM is located at 3425 Mission Inn Ave., Riverside.
