Richmond Art Center has been sharing art and creating with the community since 1936. Gallery admission is free, studios are restricted access and open only to registered students, and discounted gallery rental rates are available for nonprofits and community groups hosting mission-aligned events. Mask wearing is optional inside Richmond Art Center, though some Teaching Artists require masks in their classes. Event organizers for gallery rentals may request access to use Richmond Art Center’s kitchenette for light food preparation and storage, are responsible for all clean-up to restore the space to its original condition, and must provide proof of insurance.
