Every fall we celebrate arts and culture at 401 Richmond with special exhibition programming and events that engage the creative community in the building and beyond. This year the program is called Built for Art and includes our annual group exhibition - Built for Us - that encourages selected artists to use our adapted factory building for installations that build relationships between art, space, and the community.
