Emphasis is placed on group exhibitions in order to feature a broader range of artists and works. Artists groups from Richmond will be prioritized, however proposals are accepted from artists living beyond the city. Submissions are accepted throughout the year and should be submitted via email to culture@richmond.ca.

For Black History Month individual submissions will be considered. Organized annually each February since 2016, the exhibition recognizes and honours the legacy, culture and contributions of Black Canadians and their communities. For more information please contact culture@richmond.ca.

Submissions may include but not limited to: paintings, drawings, photography, textile arts, mixed media and digital/media arts. This space is approximately 80' long by 6' high. Due to spatial and accessibility requirements, only 3D artworks under one square foot may be considered for display cases and protected plinths.

Materials submitted will not be returned; do not submit original work. Artists will receive notice of receipt for submissions. Submissions will be kept on file for consideration for a period of up to one year.

A Day at the Races in the 1920s is currently on display at Minoru Hall Gallery. This is a group of photographs from the City of Richmond Archives that illustrate a day at the races at Brighouse Racetrack, the present Minoru Park, in Richmond. 

This was the heyday of the racetrack and the population of Richmond could double on race days. The photos are all from the 1920s and are not chronologically arranged, as evidenced by the changes in the racetrack structures. They are arranged in an order that conveys the experience of coming to the track in an era where people wore their finest clothes for this social event.

These images are part of the permanent holdings of the Archives. This exhibit was created by the Friends of the Richmond Archives Community Exhibit Program and has been made possible with the support of the City of Richmond Archives, Friends of the Richmond Archives and Richmond Arts Services.
