In April 2010, 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.
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 goal for this month-long celebration is to raise awareness of the arts, highlight forthcoming projects and to expand our audiences and supporters.
