Richmond Art Center

About

Creating opportunities for adults, teens and kids to create, see and learn about art through contemporary art exhibitions, art-making events and classes.

Story

The Richmond Art Center is a Bay Area cultural institution that showcases both emerging and established artists, including Richard Diebenkorn, Jasper Johns, Jay Defeo, Wanxin Zhang, and Hung Lui — many of whom launched their careers at the Art Center. Four galleries and a sculpture courtyard host 14 -16 exhibitions a year.

The Art Center also offers a comprehensive range of on-site classes, docent-led tours, community events and off-site programs at schools and community centers for adults, teens and children. At the Center alone, 160 beginning to advanced classes and workshops are taught every year across a wide range of media, to over 1100 students all taught by experts in their fields.

Mission

The Richmond Art Center is a dynamic community arts organization that engages creative exploration and learning through studio art classes, innovative exhibitions and transformative community projects.
