City of Richmond
The City of Richmond recognizes that the arts are integral to vibrant communities. The arts not only give depth and meaning to our lives — they are cornerstones of social and economic prosperity. Participation in the arts helps us to get to know each other, celebrate our differences, and impacts our health, economy, and overall well-being in remarkable ways.
The City works in partnership and association with local cultural organizations, artists and residents to help sustain and develop cultural heritage and individual expression as well as provide a wide range of cultural experiences and opportunities to residents and visitors.
Arts Services, part of the Department of Arts, Culture and Heritage, consists of the Richmond Arts Centre, Richmond Art Gallery Richmond Cultural Centre, Richmond Public Art and Community Cultural Development.
