The City of Richmond recognizes the arts are essential to building vibrant communities. Home to a rich cultural mosaic, Richmond is shaped by growth, changing demographics and a diverse arts landscape. The ArtWorks: Richmond Arts Strategy has been updated for 2025–2030, with the draft endorsed by City Council on July 28. Richmond residents are now invited to review the document online and share their feedback by Sunday, Sept. 28, 2025.
There are several ways to participate:
- visit sounding boards during the Culture Days kick-off weekend Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 20 and 21, 2025 at the Richmond Cultural Centre (7700 Minoru Gate)
- complete an online questionnaire at LetsTalkRichmond.ca
- complete and submit a hard copy questionnaire, available at the Richmond Cultural Centre
- email feedback to culture@richmond.ca
As an update to the 2019–2024 Strategy—which was shaped through extensive community input and guided by a 25-member Task Group—the draft ArtWorks: Richmond Arts Strategy 2025–2030 continues to be driven by a unifying vision: “Richmond’s thriving arts scene animates our city every day; offers rich arts education and experiences, festivals and events; fosters social connections and wellness; builds arts and culture leadership; and provides creative spaces.”
