Richmond’s Public Art Program sparks community participation in the building of our public spaces, offers access to ideas generated by contemporary art, encourages citizens to take pride in public cultural expression, and creates a forum to address a range of relevant themes and issues. Since the Program’s inception in 1997, the City has collected and commissioned over 300 works of public art with over 200 works currently on display around Richmond.
