Richmond through the Artist’s Eye

The Richmond Art Gallery features predominantly Canadian contemporary art exhibitions of living, professional artists in various mediums. Lipont Place, a multi-functional venue, offers contemporary art exhibitions and art for sale. *Lipont is by appointment-only.

Vancouver International Airport showcases Northwest Coast Native art. Two notable pieces include The Spirit of Haida Gwaii: The Jade Canoe by Bill Reid, once featured on the $20 bill and the Clayoquot Welcome Figures by Joe David. Learn more about the artwork on display at YVR here.

Much of Richmond’s urban beauty stems from its 200+ public art works. There is a self-guided walking tour to guide you. Try out many hands-on, creative exhibits during Culture Days in the fall, a Canada-wide celebration of local art and culture.
