Our Craft Boutique is Relocating and Looking for New Artists

Dear Artist,

September First Friday’s will kick off the grand opening of our relocated boutique and we are starting off fresh.  We are looking to bring in all new artists and promote consignment works that are innovative and inspiring.  This exciting move to our downstairs storefront will make our boutique more accessible to foot traffic and evening events.

Gallery5’s Craft Boutique is open four days a week, as well as during the myriad of evening exhibitions, receptions, performances, and community events. Gallery5 participates in Richmond’s monthly First Friday’s Art Walk, an event that attracts thousands of people who visit and shop at our gallery and boutique. Current individual artists and companies that consign with Gallery5 have experienced increased revenue and significant expansion in their customer base and have gained a larger community interest in their business. 

We believe that artists, who produce imaginative, engaging, and marketable work, deserve opportunities like this to develop their business and broaden their audience. 

For further information, please e-mail us at:

gallery5@gallery5arts.org.

If you’d like to learn more about us please visit our website:

Thanks for your time and we hope to hear back from you.
