# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Gallery5 First Fridays: Mending Walls Presents: "Good Fences Make Good Neighbors". 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 07 Feb, 2025 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: What would you build if walls weren’t meant to divide?

In February 2025, Mending Walls will host an exhibition inspired by a quote from the poem Mending Wall by Robert Frost, “Good fences make good neighbors.” Against the backdrop of political walls and social divides, we invite YOU to flip the script and help us build a new wall of voices, hopes, and ideas that challenge division and inspire conversations that can change everything.

What if a wall wasn’t about division but about connection and change?

How It Works:

Mending Walls will provide three-dimensional cardboard “bricks” to Richmonders from all walks of life to use as canvases. The bricks are meant to make you stop, think, and amplify your voice to encourage connections among us instead of separation in Richmond.

Think outside the box—your brick can:

-tell a story through painting, collage, or drawing
-be filled with meaningful content that is visible only to its future collector
-be reshaped, broken, or reimagined into a form that speaks to justice and connection.

Use your brick to help us collectively amplify diverse voices. Your contribution will be part of a thought-provoking installation—a wall reflecting the conversations we need to have about race, equity, and the world we want to build together.

Let’s face physical, emotional, or ideological barriers and reconsider the boundaries in our lives to strengthen our community.

Submission deadline: Saturday, January 25th 2025
Once your inquiry has been received, you will receive an email detailing pick up dates for your brick from Gallery5 between now through the month of January. 

All completed bricks must be returned to Gallery5 on/by Monday, February 3rd 2025 for the exhibition install. 
Note: Artists have the option to make their bricks available for sale and can choose to either retain 60% of sale price or donate 100% of proceeds to Mending Walls, NFP & Gallery5, NFP.
