No. 3 Road Art Columns

The No. 3 Road Art Columns are a unique opportunity for public art in Richmond.  These “display cases” allow the Richmond Public Art Program to showcase visual and 2 dimensional artists and their work in an outdoor public art setting.  Normally, painters, photographers and the like are limited to indoor exhibits away from the wind and weather.  The No. 3 Rd. Art Columns are part of the City’s commitment to enhance the No. 3 Road streetscape.

“Showcasing local and regional artists along the Canada Line is a great addition to Richmond’s vibrant public art program,” says Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “Residents have told us they want to see public art at Canada Line Stations and this program meets that demand.”

The Art Columns are located at the Aberdeen, Lansdowne and Brighouse Canada Line Stations.  Each Art Columns consists of four panels and give local artists the chance to display four works of art.  New artists are feature at each station approximately every six months.

The No. 3 Road Art Columns are co-sponsored by Appia Group of Companies and the City of Richmond. The exhibit is presented in partnership with the Necklace Project, an inter-municipal collaboration for public art, involving 10 local cities that are commissioning works on the theme of “illuminating communities.”
