The marketplace has an array of original gifts including handicrafts, artwork, books, furnishings, ceramics, jewellery, and home decorating items. Holiday Marketplace is a truly magical event that captures the spirit of creativity that makes 401 Richmond such a unique place.

Art in the Fall is your chance to soak up some arts and culture at our annual event that celebrates the creative community at 401 Richmond and beyond. Each year we partner with other local and city-wide events like the Queen West Art Crawl (Sep. 12 - 14) and Scotiabank
Nuit Blanche (Oct. 4) to highlight this vibrant creative community.
Art in the Fall features Art in the Halls (Sep. 11 - Oct. 9), a group art exhibition that transforms 401’s public spaces into a rambling art gallery. Also, don’t miss exhibitions at the 11 galleries in the building as well as site-specific installations and transformations. You can also catch a glimpse of 401’s highlights in lowlights with a special night of programming for Scotiabank Nuit Blanche that includes gallery exhibitions, courtyard screenings, art interventions, interactive artworks, and live performances. You can catch it all under one roof from Sep. 11 to Oct. 9.
