We’re thrilled to announce that Richard Schmid Publications will participate for the very first time in the 27th annual The Art of the Portrait Conference as a vendor—taking place May 8–11, 2025, in Washington, D.C.

Visit our table to browse Richard Schmid’s timeless books, including Alla Prima II, the Alla Prima II Companion book, The Landscapes, and My Still Life Art. The most exciting news is we are debuting the Portrait and Figure Paintings book! We’ll also showcase our remastered 4K streaming videos, including the deeply moving Captain’s Portrait and Richard Schmid Paints Michelle Dunaway—the final demonstration Richard ever recorded.

We’re especially honored to celebrate Michelle Dunaway, one of this year’s featured faculty artists, whose portrait session with Richard was captured in this unforgettable video.

In addition to our complete line of books, we'll have our entire lithograph portfolio, which will leave us soon. Richard Schmid Publications will donate the signed and numbered limited edition lithographs to the Richard Schmid Fine Art Foundation for Charitable fundraising purposes. We will have some special goodies for the first time, including a new line of elegant greeting cards, the "Art makes me happy" magnet reflecting Richard's magnetic sense of humor, and the classic Schmid signature cap.

We can’t wait to connect with collectors, artists, and portrait lovers worldwide. Stop by and say hello—we’d love to meet you!
