Richmond Hill Remembers: Artifacts Past and Present

Exhibit on display from February 1 to March 15 at the Richmond Hill Heritage Centre

Explores the theme of cataloging and juxtaposing historical local artifacts with items that define our current identities and stories. Students from Richmond Hill High School explored imagery from the Richmond Hill Artifact Collection as a foundation for examining their own life narratives. We present a collection of objects as a “memory box” with artifacts that have their own story to tell. Through a blend of two and three dimensional techniques and arrangements, the exhibit highlights an intersection of past and present, offering a unique connection on local history and culture. Each memory box allows viewers to explore the rich heritage of Richmond Hill through the eyes of emerging artists. The exhibit offers students a platform to foster personal reflection, growth, communicate their creative expression, and nurture a connection to their community.

The Richmond Hill Heritage Centre is located in the Amos Wright House at 19 Church St North, Richmond Hill.

Gallery Hours:

Tuesdays 1 – 4 p.m.
Thursdays 4 – 8 p.m.
Saturdays 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
