Gallery5 celebrating it’s Lucky 13 Birthday

Besides being one of the coolest looking buildings in Richmond, Gallery5 is also home to some of the most diverse art and entertainment in the city. Celebrate 13 years of them doing what they do with more of the same. It’s even better news that they’ve got a new six-month lease and are working with the building owner to purchase the space. Hopefully, we’ll have another update about that soonish.

Gallery5 “Lucky” 13 Year Anniversary First Friday Celebration!:

Been alive n’ kickin’ for 13 years!
In 2005 Gallery5 was launched to provide a hub for the many diverse circles of creativity in Richmond to showcase their abilities as well as facilitate a unique venue for social gatherings, workshops, celebrations, and more.

It’s been one helluva ride and we wouldn’t be here if not for the love, support, and assistance from all of the communities of Richmond that have visited, volunteered, performed, shown artwork, or contributed in the many other amazing ways.
