In recognition of National Poetry Month, CRIISC is excited to present Out in the I.E. Poetry Night in collaboration with the IE LGBTQ+ Center, a free, community-centered evening of powerful expression, storytelling, and connection. Join us on Sunday, April 26 from 4:00 PM – 7:30 PM for a dynamic gathering of voices where poets and community members are invited to share, listen, and celebrate lived experiences through spoken word. Come be part of a night that uplifts creativity, identity, and authenticity, creating room for both seasoned performers and first-time readers to take the stage or simply soak in the energy.

Our latest exhibition Out in the I.E., an exhibit honoring the LGBTQ+ community’s creativity, activism, care, and pride across Riverside & San Bernardino counties.

Exhibition Hours are Wednesday – Friday 12 pm – 5 pm.

Dive into photographs, oral histories, reports, letters and other artifacts that preserve our region’s civil rights stories.
