FAQs
Why are your dates different form the EBOS dates?
EBOS is a non-profit with their own event, and we are a separate, all-volunteer group running its own open studios event.
Who can register?
You need to be a resident of Richmond or its unincorporated areas OR, your studio needs to be located in Richmond or its unincorporated areas. If you don’t have a studio per se but you make art in Richmond, please explain that in the form. Richmond artists need to have a complete profile on our Directory at the time you register. It is free.

If technology isn’t your thing, contact Brian via email
Can I register a group?
Our registration fee is the lowest in the area to enable the largest number of people to afford it. Artists in collective studios and even two artists sharing the same open studio space need to register individually.
How late can I register?
June 4 at 5:00 pm is the latest. We got rid of late registration fees, so please help us out and register as early as you can!
I received an email saying my registration is incomplete or was filled out incorrectly, now what?
We will enroll you in the next available info session so we can help you in person. There won’t be help over email due to the large number of artists participating.
My friend missed the registration deadline. Can I sell her work at ROS?
If you have this type of friend, remind them early and often of the deadline, which is June 4. For ROS to work, every artist selling needs to register!
How will you choose the artists participating in the ROS exhibition at the Richmond art Center?
You need to be a registered artist and fill out the “Made in Richmond” exhibition submission form. That’s it!
Is there a size limit for the work being shown this year?
Because we will be showing in the Main Gallery, there is no size limit on work. If you’re work is generally smaller than 18x24, consider submitting 2 - 4 pieces so we can make a small grouping of your pieces. Sculpture is encouraged and all wall hanging work must be dropped off ready to hang (framed or mounted with a wire on the back).
I’m bringing my family. What else can we do that day?
The Richmond Museum of History and Culture, one of our partner venues, has an amazing list of things to do nearby.
