Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, outdoor plaza and south parking lot.
For 20 years, the City of Richmond Hill has offered the Studio Tour/ArtWalk as part of its commitment to the arts, culture and support of local artists. Again in 2023, the Studio Tour will be replaced with a 1-day outdoor art show. This event is an excellent opportunity for local artists and artisans to showcase and sell their work at the outdoor plaza or south parking lot at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts in downtown Richmond Hill. Application is open to all artists and fine craft artists; however, priority is given to those living and working in Richmond Hill. The Richmond Hill ArtWalk is a juried event. The show will include artists working in a variety of disciplines.
