Barbara and Art Culver Center of the Arts

Barbara and Art Culver Center of the Arts is a great spot focusing on the arts located on the…read morePedestrian Mall right in the heart of the Riverside Shopping District. This facility is easy to find as it located adjacent to UCR ARTS which is the photography exhibits space operated by the University of California, Riverside, featuring the photographs of student and preeminent photographers. As these two spaces are connected, you can easily pass from onto the other. In the forward space of the Barbara and Art Culver Center of the Arts they offer an ever-changing presentation of art created by UCR students and others. What I have found here is predominately interesting pieces of modern art. Modern, in that it's newly created, giving the people that frequently gallery, an penetrating look at the artistic influences that are currently being expressed Beyond the galley in the front, this center does showings of various works of cinema as well as other artistic presentation. This Center for the Arts is an important element to the greater Riverside Art Scene and collection of great museums. Overall, fun place to check out. You never know what new artwork you may discover. And/or what new artists you may find.

I was thrilled to learn that the center was associated with UCR's College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. As a CHASS alum I couldn't miss out on seeing what was inside. I left a donation of five dollars and spent fifteen minutes admiring the current exhibition, a series of sculptures made out of various recycled plastics--and other materials, I'm sure. What a bright spot along the promenade this place will be for years to come! I'll be sure to check out future exhibitions--and they do film screenings here, too. What a great renovation to this classic building!

Bre Dane Studio is something you need to experience. It's like no other dance studio in Riverside…read more I started off at the studio over 25 years ago as a young girl and there has always been something so special: The style of dance, the quality of instructors, the friendliness, and professionalism. I have always been proud to be at Bre Dance Studio. My favorite classes to take are adult jazz and ballet with Mr Cliff and Modern with Ro. I'm looking forward to trying adult tap soon! Come give it a try. Bre is amazing!

@bredanceriverside is NOT a safe place for kids‼…read more The owners are highly aware of the numerous concerns by staff members, parents, and students of the inappropriate, abusive, hostile, and sexual misconduct by one of the owners. The artistic director and his business partner have received these documented reports but refuse to take accountability and instead have turned to manipulative rhetoric for the purpose of managing yet another crisis. The Artistic Director has internalized these reports as a form of personal attack since he also has been complacent of his partner's behavior. This studio has been in a financial crisis for a really long time partly due to to bad business management. A group of volunteers, I was included, decided that we wanted to help this studio that has been in a crisis because of the community of dancers that had been there. We didn't want to see it go away but we knew it was inevitable if no one stepped in. We stepped in. We planned. We increased the services provided at the studio and we increased their revenue. As volunteers, we were working for free, and when we did get paid we agreed to get paid less than minimum wage in order to help sustain the studio and help these two fellas out during their financial struggles. During all of this, we began to experience verbal abuse, harassment, bullying, and one of the owners sent me a text message sexualizing an adult dancer when she was a minor, making jokes about child molestation to me, coming to work intoxicated and leading to him yelling and cursing at me for cleaning his studio because he didn't want cleaning products wasted, walking into women's restroom without permission, and then the worst part came..... we began receiving a plethora of complaints from parents and students regarding sexual misconduct, harassment, bullying, and other forms of abuse. When presenting the documented reports, both owners had agreed that it would be best for the main perpetrator to work from home instead of being the face of the studio due to the plethora of reports of abuse. Eventually, the artistic director decided that these documented reports were JUST WORDS and OUT OF PROPORTION. The Artistic Director brought back the main perpetrator and began shutting out those who had made the reports and had provided a platform to the victims. They don't care about safety. Big egos with no interest in taking accountability. I'm also NOT the first nor the last person who is going to come forward with horrific stories of these two owners.

"Dreams are something you have to believe in. I almost gave up on mine. To all of you out there,…read moreplease keep your dreams alive." - Ke Huy Quan, 2023 Oscar Winner for Best Supporting Actor When I was child in the 1970s, I loved watching television and the stories that the actors would convey over the screen. I loved how shows captured my attention with their laughter, escapism, or storyline. So, after 50 years of denying my dream and retiring from a 30+ year career, I started taking classes at the Actor's Studio of Orange County (ASoOC) in 2023 and studying the Seven Pillars Acting Technique. The Seven Pillars Acting Technique is a comprehensive acting technique that teaches you how to analyze scripts and how to "live truthfully under imaginary circumstances" because acting is so much more than just memorizing lines! Yet, the techniques are only words on paper. At ASoOC, I learned how to behave, speak, and feel as the character from all the wonderful instructors who brought the words and techniques to life! All working actors themselves, the instructors taught, encouraged, nurtured, and gently pushed/challenged/stretched us from the very first class of Living Truthfully to the very last graduating Showcase. All the while, they created a community where fellow students/actors encouraged, rather than competed with, each other. Lastly, students also learned the "business side" of acting, such as preparing their resumes, shooting their headshots, creating a biography, figuring out their casting types, etc. The business side (I needed to provide a biography) immediately came into play once I graduated! By nature, I am an introvert; yet, as I went through the classes at the ASoOC, I found myself emerging from myself and stepping up to the challenges of the given script (a shoutout to Victoria M. for nudging me!). Having recently graduated from the program, I am now making people laugh, allowing them to escape, or capturing their attention with the storyline. ASoOC is a wonderful community to learn the art of acting! Please keep your dreams alive!

Not exactly what one would imagine as a business model to support our already underserved veteran population. This company serves a majority veteran patient population often times suffering with PTSD. Leadership routinely assigns these complex cases to the intern (students) volunteers. These students work for free as part of their internship agreement and are the backbone of the operation. It is apparent this site is an intern mill. It is apparent this is to maximize profits, which co-aligns with the "McDonald's" business model. The leadership is very toxic to the employees oftentimes belittling staff and routinely making interns cry during group supervision. Many times interns hours are held based on performance and leadership refuses to sign their much needed documentation for hours (BBS experience form) as a means of coercion and manipulation. If an intern speaks up and expresses their needs the leadership will report them to their school in order to place them on Academic probation preventing them from seeking another internship site which allow the intern to extorted for more money. IF YOU ARE AN MFT/CSW,PCC STUDENT, DO NOT CHOOSE THIS SITE. It is not worth it unless you are conducting research on Narcissists ran Internship Mills that prey on the Veteran Affairs patient population under the guise of a 501c3, then this is your place. If you are a patient, there are great therapists here. But as an organization and especially the leadership it is as toxic as it comes. Consider yourself warned.

When I inquired as to why she said, "I'm just the receptionist" and then seemed frustrated when I asked for a follow up call from Debra the counselor. She said, "You can just call your insurance provider, she's already been in touch with them." I told her It doesn't have to be lengthy; a sentence will suffice." She said she would give her the message. During the first session/orientation Debra stated there would be a closure or landing session whenever services end so the person isn't left hanging. Not only am I left wondering the specifics, but there was no closure, and it is unprofessional to state something during client orientation and then not honor it.
