Current Exhibition
This February, Gallery5 is honored to present “We Find a Way: Lessons in Black Americana” as part of Richmond’s First Fridays Art Walk on Fri., February 6th from 5PM - 11PM.
Three Artists visualize their interpretations of the American Dream. Each exploring the many facets of black existence and authenticity in America. This show features the works of multi-disciplinary Artists, Franchell Mack Brown, Sam Lee Christian and Justice Dwight.
“Let me tell you about black. Black like love. Black like sunrise. Black like day. Let me envelop you in sweet darkness. Let me remind you how beautiful my black can be.”
We Find a Way: Lessons in Black Americana tells a story of truth, of resilience and of style. What it means to be fly in the face of adversity. Three Artists, black and beautiful, endeavor to visualize their personal interpretations of the American Dream. Relying on personal narrative, craft materials and historical iconography, These Artists ask the Question:
”Does the American Dream make space for all of me?”

Past Exhibitions
For over 20 years, Gallery5 has been host to work from hundreds of artists, from established, internationally recognized creators, to burgeoning talent.
Our mission is to make art accessible to the community, and to make opportunities to show work accessible to artists.
Every month Gallery5 hosts a new show, opening in conjunction with Richmond Arts District’s First Fridays art walk. Our shows feature local and regional talent, and our commitment to working with a variety of artists means that the work is diverse, and ranges from printmaking, to photography, to sculpture, to sequential art (and more), sometimes all in the same show.
Special thanks to our Arts for All supporters!
