On September 17, 2022, the Eastside Arthouse in Riverside, California opened the doors to its first exhibition, “Not Made for Exposure.” This Film Is Not Made for Exposure documents the show’s production — from planning to execution — through the lens of an Arthouse member.

“I can’t pay you, but it would be great exposure!”
To the artist, a completed work costs years of diligent practice, expensive supplies, and physical strain—Yet the deep sense of satisfaction they find in the process drives them to pay those tolls again and again. The value of the artist in society is undeniable as well; from beautifying our spaces to speaking truth directly to the heart, art and those who create it enrich our world, and enjoy doing it! However, enjoying the work shouldn’t disqualify the artist from receiving equitable pay for their valuable contributions. At Eastside Arthouse we don’t believe “starving artist” is a title of honor or a job requirement. We believe in creating a sustainable environment for artists to thrive, right here in Riverside.
