This May, Gallery5 is thrilled to present “ “Storytelling Portraits: Creatives of RVA” as part of Richmond’s First Fridays Art Walk and Block Party on Fri., May 1st from 5PM - 11PM.
This show features the ongoing series of documentary photographer @crtveambvrt that is rooted in the art of storytelling. It reflects a commitment to exploring visual narratives that resonate across cultures and experiences.
Storytelling Portraits seeks to invite viewers to pause, reflect, and consider the universality of each other’s stories. Each story is to create an act of connection, a brief intersection where vulnerability and presence meet. It is not about staging perspective, but rather revealing authenticity.
The opening reception will also include special performances by @hyphaen, @brookhouse.music, @solreliqs, @dimas07 and Latin beats by @rattan_dj guaranteed to keep you dancing all night.
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!
