It’s been five incredible years. RVA and Gallery5 have been on one hell of a ride together, and it was in April 2005 when we both started this journey into the arts and beyond. We at RVA are incredibly proud of Amanda and everyone at Gallery 5, and they’ve got one hell of a party lined up for tonight! From their website:
This month, Gallery5 will be arriving at an important milestone… we will be proudly celebrating our 5th anniversary! We have devoted each Friday in April to showcase some of the best artists, performers and exciting new events that our great culturally diverse community has to offer. We hope that you will join us in supporting these amazing artists who make our city a better place to live and work.
Info on all the artists showing & performances below the break!

Each of these Friday events will celebrate a different aspect of our history, culminating in an exclusive Members Appreciation Night on the final Friday, April 30th.
Our month kicks off with our First Friday Opening Reception
Since our opening in April 2005, whiskey has been the unofficial drink of choice for our staff and volunteers. At the end of nearly every opening reception we celebrate with either a shot of whiskey or a whiskey cocktail. That is why for our 5 Year Anniversary we are proud to feature the local whiskey distillery, Copper Fox Distillery that will provide their Wasmund’s Whiskey at each of our Friday events.
