The 2020 Art and Studio Tour has been cancelled. We look forward to returning in 2021.
The Richmond Hill Art and Studio Tour is our main art event of the year. Professional and emerging artists open their studios or exhibit at local community spaces to showcase their work. We promote the Art and Studio Tour to residents, businesses and art enthusiasts in Richmond Hill and the Greater Toronto Area.
This free, self-guided tour attracts hundreds of visitors to the Tour sites to meet the artists, learn about their creative process and share their works of art. Artists are also encouraged to participate at other City events, increasing their exposure to the community. The Richmond Hill Art and Studio Tour continues to showcase some of the most impressive art in Canada!
