  The Giant Orange Artventure

  The Giant Orange Artventure: Greg was among the artists who were each selected and commissioned to paint one of 32 fiberglass oranges that were 4 1/2 ft. in diameter. The artist’s each designed their own vision of the orange and submitted a concept sketch from which they created their vision. The artists had approximately four months to complete their projects, then the completed oranges were unveiled together at a kick off event in White Park on June 2, 2006. Thereafter they were installed at various outdoor locations throughout the downtown area where they remained on display throughout the summer. Upon conclusion of the exhibit, many of the giant oranges were retained by sponsors while a few were auctioned in October to raise additional funds. Altogether, this Summer long event raised more than $100,000 to benefit the Riverside Art Museum, making it the most successful fund-raising event in the Museum’s history. Additionally, this event was the largest, quality outdoor-public art exhibition in the history of Riverside, spotlighting many of the best artists in the region.
