Organization Bio:
Gallery5 is located in Historic Jackson Ward at 200 W. Marshall St., Richmond, VA 23220.
Gallery5 believes in the power of the arts to promote change and engage diverse communities through inclusive collaborations and accessible programming. As an award-winning, community-motivated visual and performing art center, Gallery5 facilitates arts experiences in partnership with cultural, educational, environmental and social organizations to encourage a more diverse, inclusive, and inspired region of art supporters.
Gallery5’s art exhibitions range from themed solo or group shows, international notables, local favorites and emerging unknowns whose works deserve more public exposure. Every month new work is on display, and our monthly First Friday openings are free and open to the public to inspire positive social and economic change and awareness.
In addition to showcasing visual art, the gallery has played host to hundreds of musicians and performing arts groups over the years. Stage performances include local and nationally known artists in comedy, live music of all genres, burlesque, spoken word, film, contemporary dance, and theater.
Our goal is to facilitate and inspire cultural creativity in our region, and we continue to be a catalyst for new initiatives. For almost 19 years we have served as a launching pad for emerging artists and area non-profits, and we exist to provide our community with a space to share their innovations and to engage others.
