Arts, Culture & History

Once mainly an agriculture and fishing city, Richmond also now has a burgeoning creative community. The art and history celebrate and reflect the city’s multiculturalism, geographical location, and natural landscape. Spot a few of the more than 200 works of public art across Richmond, or wander down No. 5 Road in East Richmond, aka the Highway to Heaven, with more than 20 houses of worship from myriad religions—just two examples of Richmond’s rich artistic and cultural wealth.
