Amy Spencer, executive director at the Richmond Art Center, expressed elation for hosting the exhibit, calling it important for Richmond and the Bay Area. "Now more than ever, it’s essential to provide exposure and access for all to art - viewing it, learning art history and space to create it," Spencer said. Irene Bee Kain, curator and vice-chair of the Art of the African Diaspora Steering Committee, noted this is the longest running show featuring Black artists in the U.S. "And it gets bigger and better each year," Kain said.

Summertime in the Rich is ready to shine, as witnessed by the Richmond Art Center (RAC) opening registration for its “Summer Semester” classes today, May 7, at 10 a.m.

“Art classes are run out of seven studio spaces focused on media including ceramics, painting, fiber art, jewelry/metal art, printmaking and glass,” said the RAC on its website.

Those interested can check out the RAC’s summer class listings on its website. Note that classes will appear listed as “fully booked” until the registration time opens. The RAC warns that once classes open, some fill quickly after registration opens.
