Richmond Art Center

Richmond Art Center’s origins trace back to the 1930s, when artist and educator Hazel Salmi, along with local artists and art enthusiasts, envisioned a “community studio workshop.” Their goal was, as Salmi described, “to maintain and further in the community an active interest in the arts, graphic and plastic, and an interest in the creative hand-crafts.” Salmi herself was known for biking through Richmond’s neighborhoods with a suitcase of art supplies, ready to teach anyone interested.
