Arts of Pt Richmond  has certainly kept its promise to enrich the community with art experiences and provide artists support, appreciation, and exposure. There are  powerful ongoing exhibits in three locations in Richmond and outside of buildings you’ll discover Taking it Outdoors, a concept created by Kenoli Oleari and Sharon Good.  50 banners showcase art all over downtown Pt Richmond, supporting the premise that art should be indoors and outdoors, basically everywhere in our lives.  (DJ Leland Sailing on the Bay photograph -right)
