401 Richmond is a restored, heritage-designated, industrial building in downtown Toronto that houses over 140 artists, including some of the city’s best-run art galleries, a vibrant community of designers, arts organizations, festivals, and shops. A few tenants include the Textile Museum of Canada, Centre for Indigenous Theatre, Faustwork Mask Theatre, Native Women in the Arts Studio and South Asian Visual Arts Centre.
Since 1994, 401 Richmond has undergone a dramatic transformation from rundown factory to a thriving centre for the arts in Toronto. Constructed in 1899, the building originally operated as a tin lithography factory. The original character and architectural features have been preserved, including over 800 double-hung, wood frame windows. In 1994, the building underwent a dramatic transformation by adding more modern and green elements such as the 6,500 square foot roof garden and an interior courtyard.
