Richmond Artists Guild
a forum for local artists to meet, improve their skills and learn more about art
Summer's here and we're outside!
Next Up: The Grand Prix of Art
The next local art event we're involved with is the Grand Prix of Art September 3 in Steveston. Paint, volunteer or spectate as over 100 artists paint in locales all around historic Steveston. Then follow the artwork back to the Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site to enjoy live entertainment, hands-on art activities, food trucks and the awards. The show of all the works completed will take place around 3 to 5:30pm Saturday and 11-4 Sunday in the Seine Net Loft. Many of our artists will be painting or participating behind the scenes!
September 14 is our next Monthly Meeting and artist demonstration, featuring the fabulous Dale Byhre. PLEASE NOTE the slightly earlier start time, as we now have to be out of the building before 9pm. Meetings take place 6-9pm every second Wednesday of the month. Check the calendar below or our Facebook/Meta page for details on our guest artist. For the time being, we ask that you remain masked while indoors to protect some of our more vulnerable members. We are unable to offer refreshments inside at the break due to Cultural Centre restrictions, we may be able to use the roof garden.
Life Drawing
Due to demand, we were holding Life Drawing sessions during the DAY on Wednesdays. While these are on hold over the summer, we expect to return to them in the Fall. Email to register or for more information. There is usually space for drop-ins, you can drop in up to 3 times before we ask you to join as a member.
