About Richmond Open Studios

90 registered artists at Richmond Open Studios is a record-breaking number! This year, artists will be showing their work at their individual studios and at four partner venues on Sept 6 and 7. You can pick up a ROS guide booklet at any of our four partner venues: Richmond Art Center, NIAD Art Center, the Richmond Museum of History and Culture and Point Richmond Gallery. 

This is the 3rd year the Visual Artists of Richmond organizes the free, city-wide Richmond Open Studios with the intention of creating a diverse, safe, equitable and accessible space for Richmond artists to show and sell their work and thus contribute to our community’s transformation through the arts.
