Upcoming Exhibition
THE ART OF THE PICKLE: EXHIBITION
First Friday | November 6th | 5 — 11 PM
We’re celebrating the pickle in all its forms and inviting submissions for both 2-D and 3-D artwork and our Best Pickles in Richmond jarred-pickle competition!
Born of preservation and transformed by time, the pickle is at once food, process, object, tradition, memory, and cultural artifact. It can be crisp or soft, sour or sweet, humble or magnificent. It lives in jars, on plates, in family recipes, at county fairs, and in the curious space between the everyday and the extraordinary.
This work is inspired by the pickle, pickling, fermentation, preservation, recipes, food traditions, history, and all the strange and wonderful places the humble pickle can take us.
Submissions are open for artwork and pickle entries have closed.

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!
