Question
Where is the Reception being held at?
Answer
The reception will be held at the Riverside Art Museum. Located in the historic Mission Inn district of downtown Riverside, the architecturally significant 1929 building is a former YWCA facility designed by Hearst Castle and AIA Gold Medal-winning architect Julia Morgan. The building’s distinctive architecture as a work of art in its own right brought it to the attention of the Riverside Art Center in the 1960s. Purchased from the YWCA on July 5, 1967, Morgan’s building became the proud home of the Riverside Art Museum. You'll know it's the Riverside Art Museum because the building looks like a museum and the word "ART" is in bright colors on the front lawn.
