Mission

Richmond Art Center inspires active engagement in the visual arts through exhibitions, education, and in-school programs as the San Francisco Bay Area's longest established art center. Artists involve children and youth in the creative process through residencies in public schools, and instruct individuals of all ages through studio classes, workshops, and tours. Exhibitions introducing contemporary Bay Area artists and community-based projects reflect the richness and diversity of the region.

Vision

Richmond Art Center aspires to be the community's first choice for participation in the visual arts.

Values

We believe that experiences with the arts as communicated by professional artists, whether in school classrooms, gallery settings, or the community at large, promote cross-cultural understanding and provide new perspectives and insights which enrich our lives.
