The Richmond Art Center is turning 80 years old! To commemorate, the Art Center will be throwing a special Gala on Saturday, October 1st, 2016, to celebrate all of the amazing work the Art Center has done over the years.
While this is still a few months away, we are hoping to confirm our volunteer base for this event as soon as possible. If you are interested, you will be added to our special Gala mailing list.
Participants will not only receive the regular benefits of volunteering with the Art Center, but will also get special access to participate in our Gala, which normally has a fee to attend. You will also have the chance to meet some of the amazing artists who have exhibited here at the Center, and to see our special guest, director Ryan Coogler.
This will be a very fun volunteer opportunity for anyone looking to become more involved in their community, to become more involved in the art world, and to gain experience with special events & art functions.

Mission Statement
The Richmond Art Center is a dynamic arts organization that empowers and transforms individuals and the community through creative exploration, experience and education.
Description
The Richmond Art Center is the largest visual arts center in the East Bay, and we deliver exciting arts experiences to young and old alike who reflect the diverse richness of our community. We do this through hands-on learning, well-equipped studios, traveling Art in the Community programs and contemporary exhibitions in our galleries.
Every year, we serve thousands of students through classes and programs taught by professional artists, both onsite at the Art Center and at sites throughout Richmond. Our four galleries allow us to mount rotating exhibitions that display the works of emerging and established Bay Area artists. Artists such as Richard Diebenkorn, Jay DeFeo, Wanxin Zhang, Hung Liu, David Park and Peter Voulkos have been showcased here.
The Richmond Art Center originated in 1936, when local artist Hazel Salmi, who worked for the WPA, traversed the streets of Richmond with a suitcase packed with art supplies, eager to teach art to anyone interested. Today, everything we do at the Center continues to breathe life into Salmi’s original vision: That within every person lives an artist.
