Taking It Outdoors
2025 Public Art Banners
April 13 through October 26
Stroll downtown Point Richmond on the lookout for the newest crop of colorful banners featuring art by AOPR artists displayed on walls, windows, and gates.
The “Taking It Outdoors” project is funded by an annual grant from the Point Richmond Gateway Foundation and fees paid by the Arts of Point Richmond artists who submit their art.
The project is brought to life by the Arts of Point Richmond TIO team who volunteer their time and energy to make it happen. Thank you, one and all!
About the Art
Contact the artist directly to inquire about purchasing originals or prints of the art on display. Or email info@artsofpointrichmond.com and we will connect you with the artist.
History
In 2019 AOPR members Sharon Goods and Kenoli Oleari approached the AOPR Leadership Team with an idea for making large format vinyl banners using the artwork of AOPR members and hanging the banners outdoors in downtown Point Richmond.
A year and a pandemic later, Taking It Outdoors (TIO) came to life.

AOPR members art enlarged and printed on 40 inch vinyl banners appeared on walls, windows, gates and fences in downtown Point Richmond. In the years since, the project has evolved into an iconic annual Point Richmond event.
