On First Friday, February 7th, Gallery5 and Mending Walls proudly present " Good Fences Make Good Neighbors: A community art build".
This exhibition is inspired by a quote from the poem Mending Wall by Robert Frost, “Good fences make good neighbors.” Against the backdrop of political walls and social divides, we have invited artists across the city to flip the script and help us build a new wall of voices, hopes, and ideas that challenge division and inspire conversations that can change everything.
What if a wall wasn’t about division but about connection and change? Mending Walls has provided three-dimensional cardboard “bricks” to Richmonders from all walks of life to use as canvases. The bricks are meant to make you stop, think, and amplify your voice to encourage connections among us instead of separation in Richmond.
Join us on First Friday to see how a community can come together and learn more about the larger Mending Walls, NFP project.
