Richmond Cultural Center Banners

Banners for the Rotunda of Richmond Cultural Center, 1993

The Richmond Art Gallery, where I had exhibited, and Page Hope-Smith the director, commissioned me to create banners for the rotunda of a new expanded space including gallery, library and archives. The designs are abstract expressions of the variety of natural life that Richmond derives from.

Seven banners 15’x 30’’ hung from the balcony and circled the rotunda, and one 12’x 28”banner hung over the stairs.

The new Richmond Cultural Center celebrated its opening January 16, 1993.
