Location

The Richmond Artists Guild was founded in 1955. At that time a group of artists were gathering in each others homes to exchange ideas, critique artwork and increase their knowledge of art. The principal objective of the guild is to “promote and encourage art in all forms, especially in painting, and to encourage all art interests in the community”.
