Richmond Council Chambers
“Made Here”
Exhibition: July – September, 2024 (Extended through November 5)
Reception: Tuesday, September 10, 4pm-6:30pm
Richmond City Council Chambers, 440 Civic Center Plaza, Richmond, CA 94804
In celebration of the Richmond Art Center’s new partnership with the Richmond City Council, our inaugural Council Chambers exhibition explores the relationships between nature, people, and the built environment—elements central to life in Richmond.
This exhibition features artwork created by the Richmond Art Center’s expansive community, including pieces from our students, teachers, staff, members, and volunteers.
With an 80-year history of serving the people and City of Richmond, our first Council Chambers exhibition pays homage to the vision and legacy of Richmond Art Center’s founder, Hazel Salmi. From the early days when Hazel would bike around town with art supplies in her basket to serve the burgeoning Richmond arts community, to the post-war decision to include an art center with studios and galleries in the Civic Center complex, to our current efforts to educate and empower local artists of all ages—we’re honoring the enduring commitment to the arts shared by the Richmond City Council and Richmond Art Center.

“Food Chain”
FOOD CHAIN was originally conceived as a show about the process of producing and consuming food—the earth, agriculture, water & land use, chains of food distribution and commentaries on how & what we eat. The title also encompasses a broader definition of the phrase, i.e. a hierarchical system or structure—a pecking order, power dynamics and the like.
FOOD CHAIN WILL BE AT THE 210 CLEMENT ST. GALLERY, SF 94118
Exhibition Dates: Thursday, May 16th-Sunday, July 7th, 2024
Opening Reception in tandem with the Clement St. ArtWalk: May 16, 5-8pm
Coastside Asian Pacific American Heritage
“We are Present, Artists with Asian Roots”
Exhibition Statement
America is a melting pot of many different cultures. Learning about them enriches our world and expands how we interact. This exhibition focuses on artists with Asian roots. What do we choose to reveal, express, and explore, and why? Each artist works uniquely, and this is an opportunity for their art to be seen on the Coastside.
This will be the first Coastside exhibition focusing on contemporary Asian artists. It will occur during May/June, in sync with the first Coastside Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
The Venue
The “We Are Present” exhibition will be displayed in Na Omi Shintani’s Kitsune Community Art Studio, in “The Old Barn.” For 15 years, the Kitsune studio has been the location for art workshops, book club meetings, and gatherings. The exhibition opening will be on the same date as the monthly open studios for “The Old Barn.”

“Women Raising 2024”
Show Dates: FEBRUARY 24 - March 24TH, 2024
Opening Reception: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24TH, 4-9pm.
The 2024 WOMEN RISING Open Call asks Bay Area female-identifying and non-binary artists to submit work that reflects on women’s rights around the world: in many places their erosion and decline as a result of governmental restrictions, war, climate change, immigration, racism and domestic violence. As with all dark things, there are also opposite forces at work resulting in positive change and illumination of movements underway both domestically and internationally.

“The 6000 Circle Project”

Opening Reception: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24TH, 7-9pm.
In collaboration with The Calling (Yasmin Lambie-Siimpson, Chantelle Goldthwaite, Sheila Metcalf-Tobin).

Circles made by NCWCA members and the public will be exhibited in the Arc Project Gallery.

“48 Pillars”
Show Dates: FEBRUARY 24 - APRIL 6TH, 2024
Featured artists: John Arbuckle, Kathryn Arnold, Richard Bolingbroke, Carlos Cartagena, Stacey Carter, Jennifer Ewing, Annie Galvin, Howard Hersh, Uma Rani Iyli, Ivy Jacobsen, Julia LaChica, Katja Leibenath, Lisa Levine, Fernanda Martinez, Nance Miller, Yari Ostovany, Namita Paul, Eric Rewitzer, Wendy Robushi, Sawyer Rose, Michael Shemchuk, Stephanie Steiner, Paula Valenzuela, Fumiyo Yoshikawa.
48 Pillars was inspired by a chance encounter at Flax with a close-out sale of deep vertical panels,
48” x 12” x 1 5/8”. 24 local Bay Area artists will each produce two companion pieces or diptychs on these identically sized panels. The panels exactly ring the gallery – 48 works in total.
This is the 8th annual 48 Pillars exhibition at Arc Gallery. It is essentially a “structural constraint” show. The artists are unconstrained in subject matter, except to the extent that works need to be a series, but they are constrained in format.
