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!

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, with art banners appearing on walls, windows, gates and fences in downtown Point Richmond. Every year, a new crop of art banners appears, and the project has evolved into an iconic annual Point Richmond event.
