Show Notes
Cheech Marin is known as an actor and comedian – he’s one half of the legendary duo Cheech and Chong.
But a lesser-known fact is that Marin is also a large collector of Chicano Art.
More than 500 pieces from his personal collection now make up the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art and Culture in Riverside, California and has two traveling shows.
I recently had an opportunity to interview Marin for the Chicago Humanities Festival and wanted to share a portion of that conversation.
