The Lighter Side of Dark
Richmond Chill Art Show and Sale
Saturday and Sunday, Oct 19 & 20 and 26 & 27
We asked our talented artists to create something with a mood, or a feeling that is a little darker, a little creepy, or eerie. Perhaps it’s the colours or the subject matter it’s entirely up to them.
In time for Halloween and the coming of longer nights, show us their ‘lighter side of dark’

Now on display on the front lawn of the Mill Pond Gallery!
Zooming out of the ordinary and into 150 years Richmond Hill!
We asked our members to paint a leaf shaped board to celebrate this milestone anniversary. Collectively their artwork makes up our RHGA summer installation that is now ready for you to enjoy on the front lawn of the Mill Pond Gallery. Many thanks to all our members who painted a leaf and who volunteered to seal, varnish and install this artwork. And a special thank you to Ryan and NewMakeIt who helped us with cutting our leaf shapes and fabricating our rebar stems!
