Where Richmond makes art

A community of artists, makers and supporters, together for more than 50 years.

A home for the arts in Richmond.

The Community Arts Council of Richmond is a registered charity that has connected artists, audiences and the wider community since 1970. We run exhibitions and workshops, welcome young students to our arts programs, and give Richmond artists a place to be seen.
