5IVE & 40RTY was founded by partners Amy Garland and Joy Ritenour in the summer of 2006. Located in Winston-Salem, NC, known as the City of the Arts, in the heart of the city’s Downtown Arts District, 5IVE & 40RTY offers gallery visitors the opportunity to experience contemporary works by emerging national talent.
The existing gallery space was renovated to resemble galleries found in larger metropolitan areas. 5IVE & 40RTY is intentionally sparse, a white rectangle, with concrete floors and 12 foot ceilings.
According to art ctitic, Tom Patterson, “Since making its debut, 5IVE & 40RTY has established itself as the Arts District’s most elegantly designed gallery—perfectly suited to showcasing art—and the one representing the most high-caliber work.”
