Local artist to showcase work at Ontario art walk
As part of the quarterly Emporia Arts District artwalk, the Latino Art Museum, on 119 W. Transit St., Ontario will be hosting the art of Ontario's own Rick Caughman this Saturday.
The show entitled, "View from the Street," are Caughman's paintings inspired by locations in the Inland Empire.
This is the first time the 53-year-old has showed his work at the museum, he said.
For the past five years, Caughman has held an annul show at the dA Center for the Arts in Pomona. But last year Caughman's home was damaged by a fire forcing him and his family to temporarily relocate.
Because of the issues at his house, Caughman said he ultimately decided not to do his annual show in Pomona.
Caughman, whose mother is Puerto Rican, was then invited to showcase his work by the museum's director, Graciela Nardi.
"It was a very nice thing to be offered," he said. "I accepted because I thought it would be a real treat to do the show."
Nardi selected the 20 pieces of art work that's going to be in the show, he said. Caughman's exhibit should be on display until Feb. 26.
There will also be other artists studios open that evening during the third Saturday art walk.

Artist reception will be Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m. Refreshments and food will be served.
